	Are there any present or former users of Nicolet NIC-80 Instrument
Computers out there?  Did anyone ever port NIC-80 application programs to
other machines, like DEC 11/23 (I realize the NIC-80 I/O is unique)?
	We still have an NIC-80 expanded system (harddisk, etc.) that we
use once in a while for FFT's and special signal processing applications.
I'd like to salvage some of the custom application software (written in
assembly language - not the Nicolet Basic), but run it on an 11/23 equipped
with A/D and D/A boards under RT or RSX.  I can't justify much effort to
convert the software, however.
	Any comments?  Can anyone give me moral support as to why we should
still keep the NIC-80 running?
