I wouldn't expect to find any!  OTOH, I wouldn't want to rely on 
anything of that vintage being Y2K OK without exhaustive testing.  That 
testing was done for V5.5-2 and above but not, AFAIK, for anything earlier!

The last days of 1999 showed some of the sillier sides of human  nature. 
  I recall someone trying to get Y2K certification for his power cords! 
  He MAY have just been joking but I wouldn't count on it!
