Hi Larry,

I'll happily take it off your hands, just send it to me and you will
never have to take another look at it again! :)

Seriously, what is the problem?
Yes, I've connected a keyboard/mouse to it, I even put a graphics card
into it but it really makes no sense as there is no support in the
machine to write to a graphic-device, you can of course compile a
X-server to run on the card but you won't get any console-support.
There's just no use in doing so. The machine is perfect as a
SOHO/Departemental appliance but a very mediocre workstation.



Best regards,
