Last time I checked, DataSouth was still selling a 120cps upgrade board for
the LA36.  The only problem is that the price is about twice what you would
pay for a refurbished LA120!  I've heard mixed reviews about the board, but
never played with one long enough to form an opinion.

LA36's still make good console terminals for Unix systems - much better
than letting those nasty error messages zip off the top of the screen...
