The last one to show up on eBay sold for about $450, although, it was still in the box. I can't imagine this one going for less than $300, though!  666th poster and 666th thread-creator

Although cool, doesn't seem very useful...there are only so many horizontal lines that can fit on the screen...--------------------

In the sense that it's only really practical for one or two tasks...wait...what exactly can you do with that LCD screen that you couldn't do with the normal 9" screen? It seems that one would be limited by it... Hmm...or similar in the sense that they're both super rare and sought after... --------------------

Yeah, I don't think they're useless, but I think the amount of dollars and time searching spent on them outweighs any potential they might have...Now, if you find one in a thrift store, well by golly you better get it (Shane, that means you)! 666th poster and 666th thread-creator

POTENTIAL!??? we don'nee'no steeenkin'POTENTIAL!!!:bugeyes:<gaaak!-lunges-regains tenuous three fingertip grip on trailing edge of reality> =8-} cost/benefit analysis of anything without a PCI slot is more a matter of "WOW! factor" vs. cost of putting the pieces in a collection to use for all but a few niche functions at best. PPC/NuBus CPU's are barely worth considering for most real world applications! (expensive NuBus based cards/apps etc.) 68k CPU's are in a slightly better position due to legacy 68k app and peripheral requirements, and the increasing availability of expensive vertical market equipment/cards/apps at dumpster ballast price levels. but a 6.5k CPU stretches rational limits for all but the most narrowly defined applications (like gaming and K-12 stuff). IMHO, of course! jt ™. .
