I wouldn't go so far as to suggest buying a Laser (but that's another story)... Pre-Owned Electronics (30 Clematis Ave, Waltham, MA 02154; 1-800-274-5343) sells all sorts of Apple II-Apple ///-Macintosh-Lisa parts. I have done a lot of business with them, both personally and at work. I cannot say enough about them. In their 6-7-89 flier, they list a //e IWM ship for $49 (qty 10+ $29). Call before you order, since they sometimes don't have everything in stock (although that's not too often). They take VISA & MC. -- Mike Jetzer "Hack first, ask questions later."
