I feel your pain. You should try searching for "NeXT" hardware and
information. eBay is generally pretty good since ppl generally know enough
to list items in Computers but searching anywhere else is always an
adventure. I have yet to come up the an adequate set of filter terms to
use even the mighty Google effectively.
took me a couple nights just to find the NeXT messageboard...
