RE: 9404 Lost IPL Key

["Doug Hart" <doughart@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My front panel just failed a month a go and I had to replace it.
It was only $100 and you get a new key with it.  The key is not linked to
the serial number but the front panel code.  It only took 5 minutes to
replace the display, one cable connection.
