Thanks for the information. So what became of the old boards when someone upgraded, recycled for warranty repairs or . . .?

I guess the original owner decided an HD was needed and upgraded at the same time to get SCSI. Either that or upgrade instead of repairing. I've been reading that these compact Macs were prone to cooking themselves.

I prefer my 68k computers with a Commodore badge on them
I prefer my Commodore badges with a 6502 in them! ;)

Though I've been in the queue for an X1000 for a stupid length of time.
Hehe, I prefer my 8-bit CPUs with a Z in their name. Actually, never was that much into 8-bit home computers. We did have a speccy but it was more my older brothers thing than mine. Always the burning jealousy of Amiga screenshots on the cassette inlays. I didn't know that more X1000s were being made. PPC amigas and OS4.1 etc is not for me. They are interesting but too expensive for a hobby computer and at an insurmountable disadvantage in hardware, price and software support for a serious computer. Doesn't stop me kinda wanting one though :D
