Actually, good news on both fronts. CompUSA still sells ADB mice, though at
confiscatory prices, and so does Fry's (they sell either/both of the
Kensington or MacALLY mice, which work fine on classic Macs). Fry's also
regularly carries the AAUI-to-10baseT transceivers, but again the price is
kind of steep. Still, they continue to be readily available new, and
they're oozing out of the woodwork at the local swap meets around here.
