Jonathan, the 8meg board is still chugging away just fine in my second Amiga (used downstream from my Toaster system). Regarding 422 & MII, I don't know if ALL the MIIs ever made are compatible, but I haven't yet come across any that don't have the 422 connector. "B" stock is anything that has been opened and displayed or demonstrated, sometimes it's just discontinued models. If the boxes were ever opened, these units cannot be sold as "new" but usually come with full factory warranty. Occasionally there's a cosmetic ding on the outside, but all units have to go through factory check out to qualify for warranty. Most dealers will buy "B" stock from the factory after a large show like NAB, or from other dealer stock when there is a bancruptcy. Us common folk can sometimes find out about "B" stock from factory reps or as in my case, from someone who deals exclusively with TV stations. I was very fortunate in getting my MII deck (JVC KRM820) for about half off retail, and the thing was mint! If you are shopping with one of the bigger pro outlets like Midwest supply you can certainly ask if there is anything available in "B" stock and they might send you a current list, but usually because of the "one-of-a-kind" nature of these items, they tend to go fast. Good luck. Frank
