I ran across one for only $750 (15K monitor, 25mhz/030, 68882FPU &200M of Drive space) & I still have 3 zorroIII and 2PCslots (if you want to run a MAC or PC emulator). With a GFX card and OS3.1, the drawbacks of not having the AGA chipset are minimal (unless of course you are a game hound). William B.
