The Notetaker I Ethernet Board and Double Density Disk hardware have been
successfully exercised. These were the last two major hardware functions that
remained untested until now. .

P.S. The Notetaker II project has been. cancelled. The design of that improved
system is essentially finished, but the 40 planned machines will not be built.
The capital freeze has pushed their delivery date into the future to the point
where their availability would overlap the effort to develop Notetaker III. SSL
has decided to simply skip the N otetaker II build and to start work on the more
compact N otetaker III.
