Carey--

I have one of the Belkin converters so that PS/2 keyboards can
be used on a Sun.  These run about $119 new, iirc.  It's just
gather dust around here.

I'd be interested in swapping something or cash.  Things I'd be
interested in:

Mac parts, B&W or later
Desktop 4-8 port 10/100 switch (like the 3-Com tiny boxes)
Belkin USB to Serial adaptor (has both 8-pin mini-DIN and
   DB9 serial)
an 802.11 WAP, any brand
9GB or bigger SCSI HDs, preferrably SCA
game consoles/games--PS 2, Gamecube, and PS 1 are top on my
   list, but will also consider N64, NES, etc.

I might be interested in other things, those are just the
things that come to mind.

Thanks--
