I got that KVM off of the LowEndMac Swap List. I originally intended to use it to share a keyboard between my MDD G4 and my Power Mac 8100 until I found out that Griffin iMates don't play well with such devices, but I kept it to use for extra Apple gear without disconnecting the 8100. The video inputs are all standard Macintosh DA-15, but the KVM has an HD15 output. The box and the KVM itself make no mention of a brand name, but it's a very well-built device with a nice, solid mechanical switch.
I'm not too far from Virginia (Baltimore), and I grew up down there. I couldn't tell you about recyclers there; I mentioned how I heard about this particular one in my original post, and it's the only one I know of around me so far. It seems easier to find this kind of gear around areas that host big universities, but do some research, check out some (not MarketPro) computer shows, and try your luck. Seeing as I'm not terribly far from you, I'll give you a heads-up if I hear of anything.
Just so all of you know, the place I got this gear from is CDM e-Cycling. Their location is nondescript and seemingly tailored to people dumping equipment to be recycled, but if you walk in the front door and hit the buzzer, then tell the person on the intercom that you're there to buy stuff, they'll let you into the lobby and send someone out to lead you into the warehouse so you can roam around freely and pick things out. The staff is very helpful, and it's a great place to check out - lots of Mac stuff and smattering of UNIX (mostly Sun) things along with the typical PC gear.
Yes. I made my way to techfury90's place this week and tested my machine with his Blade 1000's RAM and hard disk... we discovered that it's fully functional, so I placed orders for RAM, an FC-AL disk, and the requisite Sun SPUD bracket yesterday. By next week, I should have a slick Solaris machine running alongside my current Blade 150.
As for the Apple IIGS, it will require a few hundred dollars' investment to really get it how I want it to be (4MB RAM, mass storage of some sort, mostly likely CompactFlash, and ethernet), so I will be moving along with that gradually.
