6.5"L X 4"H, the other is: 8.25"W X 7.5"L X 3.5"H They are the same amp just

Already found a door program for access from the Amateur BBS node, but
'spaced' on the fact that I don't have either an available EIDE CD-ROM Drive
and controller, or a spare SCSI/ISA controller (so I could use one of the
SCSI drives from the main node), so I'll have to place an order with one of
my suppliers in the next couple days for either a SCSI card, or IDE
card/drive.
Tried the CD (locally) on the main node (haven't seen any QRZ-Door s'ware
that runs under OS/2 or I'd offer the access there), and everything seems to
work fine.
Thanks for the deal...
All the Best to you and yours,
