Counterpoint of San Jose was bought out by Acer about 2-3 years ago.
Now called "Acer Counterpoint", Acer has since dropped the bitmaped
680x0 workstations. I believe they sell only 3086 boxes now.

If they are in working condition, why not simply use them as development
machines or X-terminals?  If they're not working, you could try
contacting Acer. Failing that, they should make excellent space heaters.
