Wanted: stand for NeXT monitor

[Alan Perry]

I am running OPENSTEP on an Axil 320 (SPARCstation 20 clone) with 416M 
of memory and a 60MHz SuperSPARC processor (sadly OPENSTEP (at least the 
version that I have) only supports one of the two processors in the 
system). The system runs OPENSTEP very well.
