Re: Hardware Issues with a NeXT Station N1100

Hello, Manuel.

If have a couple of spare mice and keyboards. If you are in Monterrey 
you might want to take a look at them.

I got those parts from a junk yard as well, but I managed to grab all 
of the NeXT stuff for people with incomplete NeXT systems.

If you're interested just drop me a line.

Greetings.
