I got my Distributor from ICD also.  They sell it for $70 though (ouch!).  Steve
Schwartz can answer this question better than I can.  (They don't push this
system anymore, since on a modern PC even the freeware programs will outsearch a
Sapphire.  The Distributor was designed in the days of < 60 Mhz PC's, when the
Sapphire did have an edge.)

What do you want to do with it once it is hooked up?  I haven't figured out how
to do half of the promised features with the Distributor's vintage Win3.1
software.
