	Two things.  First,  an update:  Everything I advertised earlier
has been sold,  except my Sapphire accelerator.  That includes the Xetec
controller, drives, and the 500 system.  Thanks for all the replies.
	Second,  I still want to sell the Saphhire.  To answer the most
common questions in advance:  The board fits in the 500, includes no 32-bit
RAM and runs at system bus speed.  For floating-point math, you get about
a 3x increase in speed (examples: mandelbrots, ray-tracing, VISTA).  Other
stuff runs a little less than twice as fast.  The maker, TTR, plans a very
generous upgrade to their upcoming '030 (33 or 50 Mhz, with RAM) card.  The
board was used for about 3 weeks, and compatability was very good.
	I'll accept any reasonable offer.  This account will disappear soon,
so if I don't reply in a couple of days, my # is (206) 632-0913.  Thanks.
