Hmm.. an HP 735/125 will also run NeXTStep, it is twice
as fast, much cheaper than the SS5, and nice monitors like
the 19" A2094A (trinitron) are cheap these days. I have both
an SS5 and a 735/125, and believe me, the speed difference
shows.

I have an A2094A monitor up for auction on eBay,
together with some other hp200/300/400 stuff.
