I am still running one in my home garage shop -- serial #1018 with
its original LSI-11 controller and BOSS 5 firmware.   It still has
the special gold paint job that Bridgeport applied when they took
it to the Westec machinery expo in Los Angeles.   I am the third
owner, and it is in great condition.

I would love to get a set of source code listings, if they still
exist anywhere.
