The prices Colin mentioned sound good.

Uhm, not so for my IIsi. :-( It WON'T take clock chirping. I tried it,
and all it'd do was crash w/ weird video squiggles. I think I need heat
sinks for the chips, but I can't find any which will just slap on top of
the chips; they all want to reach around under. :-(

If it compiles under UN*X, it'll probably work. NetBSD has a new thing
called the packages system, which is a central store of patches to
programs on the net. If a program you want is in there, someone else has
made it work w/ NetBSD. If you have the latest version of
/usr/share/mk/bsd.port* (true if you have 1.3), then all you have to do is
cd to the package directory, and type "make". It will ftp the file, untar
it, patch it, configure it, and make it.

Take care,
