It's too bad they are still so expensive--I recently priced them
at like $95 from resellers dealing with old Suns.  I didn't even
know about the ZX until about 3 weeks ago while trying to get my
SS20 running (diags came on because of a bad DSIMM--I was too
impatient and didn't give it a chance to get video output turned
up before trying to power off/on--then one time I had to answer
the phone, came back and found it with video on. *doh*).
