Wow! Nice matrix. From the looks of it, I could use the 250 display on a 280 board, but only after swapping the cable. Problem is, the cost of the cable... Sun Remarketing lists it as unavailable, PowerBookGuy lists it at $24.95. Add to that the cost of the 250 and it hardly seems worth it just to use a 280 board I got for roughly the cost of shipping. At this point, it seems like my options are either to grab the cheapest 230/250 board I can or just cash in all of my chips. Sigh. <<<john>>> P.S.
