Cyrix brand are $85 and $108 respectively, so your asking price should

 I am sharing this unpleasant experience in hopes that someone
else may be spared...

I called H D Computers and very clearly asked whether they made 
a notebook or laptop based on the i386SL...several times I specified,
no SX wanted, no knockoff sxl wanted... I was promised a 386SL with
internal fax/modem.

What arrived today was a 386SX made by some company in Taiwan...
and to add insult to injury, the saleman tried (not too hard, but he 
gave it a shot) to tell me that the SL "is a low-powered chip, did
I know that?" anyway, tried to sell me on the SX.  Then I was *really*
mad! 
They have agreed to take the miserable thing back, and I have notified
my bankcard company, but I'm still out the $41.00 return shipping and
all my time and aggravation.

May all netters have better luck than this with mail order! Avoid HD!

I have a couple of Princeton Graphics "UltraSync" multisync monitors

to a VGA/SVGA card.  They have analog/TTL switches in the back, and
according to the company, they will run on VGA cards and the cable is
available.  However, their price is $32.50, which seems somewhat
predatory.

Does anyone know where I can purchase a cable to do the job?  (I bought
