[Info-vax] Alpha Firmware v7.3

[Carl Friedberg]

Thanks, Terry, I have never tried to give away anything via a google group.
My objective is not to pay real money to send it.

USA). If you want to make arrangements with me to pick it up, that's fine.
Send a message to me at carl at comets.com so we can continue this off the
group.
