I only worked there as an intern for three months, years ago. They don't make 'em anymore. Well, I'm sure they make those climate control thingies still, but not with 68040's. Only place I know where to find them now is as Mad Dog said; either direct from Motorola at $216, or scavenged from some other device. ,xtG .tsooJ -- 011110010110111101110101 011000010111001001100101 01100100011101010110110101100010 -- Joost van de Griek <http://www.jvdg.net/> -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
