I'll bet you'll come up with more of them than you know what to do with. If you're in a hurry, try Salvation Army or Goodwill stores. I always see some in those types of stores and I go there for old accessories like (large) DIN plug keyboards, etc. They're not always out front, ask for the "guy that works on the computers". He'll probably have some in back that he thought would never sell. Tom
