Tell  ya  what,  I will sell  you a P166 and install it into your

486 motherboard for you, on  the condition that you hand over the

money first (before the installation)

NO !  Not in the market anymore

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



The supplier had no idea that he had handed Randall an ADZ, He didn't

know the difference and after he  was told, he checked his stock and

only had ADW chips.



Luck  has  got to smile on you at least once in your life.



 BG> OOTC:  Epson ColorIIs, as new, used once, $599 retail, sell for just 

 BG> $450.



Talk about flogging old stock, this is quite obviously old stock. :)

Hows that for Plagiarism
