Not only is it rare, but is/was damned expensive (around $450 or so). I looked 
into it when I still had an operating Miggy. I actually called Microware 
(that should put some time perspective on this) and they stated that they no 
longer supported it and that (they thought) it could still be acquired from a 
source in Australia. The price stopped any further investigation on my part. 
$450 is a bit steep for a hobby.
