Obviously it depends of where you live. I'll give some prices of items I met
last sat. at an Apple-fare (new and mostly used Applestuff) in the
Netherlands:
(count an euro for a US$)
2 x Supermac videocard (nubus), used : 40 euro/each
3 x Supermacmon.cable-adapter for OEM-video, used: 5 euro/each
Several Mac to VGA-adapters, new and used: 1 - 2 euro
Several VGA to Mac-adapters-6 or 10 dipswitches, new and used: 5 - 10 euro
BTW: Not any Supermac-monitor seen (therefore a lot of other pricely very
inter. Macstuff).

Right. But using the card with a non-Supermac-mon., you'll need the ext. and
cp. for the card. (Mail me OL if you want them, 250K)

Right too! And IMHO this makes working/playing with these rel.-old Macs so
nice and funny.

Happy Mac-ing everybody,
