There's a nice looking one of these (new?) at $20 BIN here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230376107776
Seller "can't remember" if it's clicky... This is the week of terrible ebay seller responses for me, you wouldn't believe a couple of them.

Back to the F clone; All of the old PPC-400s seem to be XT, and a description here (http://www.pcmuseum.ca/details.asp?id=696) tells that the keyboard is not of quality.

THE week?

It's just another week as usual. Apparently the week where I bought the M5-2 from you was a strange exception to the norm.

You're right, I was away from the bay too long to remember how psychologically punishing some sellers can be.

One can never forget once they've read the things that I've read.
