G4/400 ZIF CPUs to go in it can be had for about $100 US inc shipping from wegenermedia.com. I added a PCI USB card from the swapmeet ($19), downloaded the Apple USB drivers, and it worked.
Hey Clae,
you've bought from this crowd? They reliable?
I have a couple of machines that could really do with some ZIFs (and a couple more in the 73/5/600 range that can use them with a ZIF carrier card - that I also am having trouble finding) ... how are they on shipping etc.?
Matthew, I stress here I have had no personal dealings with wegenermedia.com but on a few other lists I am on that company has received mixed reviews. So much so that The Low End Mac site which has several Mac lists running has stopped wegener from posting.

UnquoteProblems with Wegener Media are not unknown on our PowerBook lists. The company has some downright weird policies -- you can order over the Internet, but you can only contact customer service by telephone. Not email. Not mail. Not fax. Only by phone.
Until recently, the owner ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) was on our PowerBook
lists, where he has consistently blamed the customer for every complaint
made on the list -- and often gone on to threaten legal action against
his customer and Low End Mac for allow such "defamatory" postings on the
list.
David Wedge is no longer welcome here. Low End Mac no longer links to Wegener Media deals in our weekly 'Book Review. We want nothing to do with them and cannot recommend doing business with anyone who so abuses their customers.
Again, be advised of my disclaimer. YMMV
