      $1700 is a mite bit expensive for a P75 with only 8 Meg of RAM and 
500 Meg HD.....I think you should be looking at $1600-$2000 for a P75
with 16 MB RAM and 720 Meg HD, depending on whether an unknown company 
or a real company builds it.

       One of those 603e based Macs?  Don't they have the "brute force"
solution to the emulator, because it supposedly ran extremely slow - so
they doubled the cache?
