I gather the SS10/20 are similar to the LX, then?
One option would be to run slowaris on the LX,
I guess   <frown>

The SS5 is same form factor as SS2, SS10, etc.?  I
suspect it will be easier to pick up than *hoping* to
find an SS4 with the right bits inside, etc.

Hmmm... I know there's an SS10 sitting at the local
surplus place and recently LX's, SS2's, etc.  But it
has been a few weeks since I saw much of anything
*other* than those models.  (of course, the usual
load of IPC's, Classics, etc.)  I'll check next week.

Thanks!
