The same DataSpec ABCD switch-box goes for $27.50 from ORA Electronics,
9410 Owensworth Avenue, Chatworth, CA  91311.  1-818-772-2700.
It's a nifty box, with suction-cup feet that let it sit conveniently
on top of CPU or monitor.

Part no. is XXDSM804 for the switch-box; you'll also need a "straight-
thru" cable, part no. XXAPL-8ext-6.  They take VISA/Mastercard.
