These both appear to be from Quicksilver models which have a faster bus then 
mine. I have asked both sellers if they know what machines the processors were 
pulled from.

On that thought, does anyone know if a processor from a faster bus can be put 
in mine? Mine has a 100Mhz bus only. The Quicksilver bus is faster. I'm not 
sure of the Mirror Door models at all. If they can then perhaps I can put 
another Mac processor into mine? These hardware questions exceed my knowledge.

And thanks John, you did find a link to a new processor. And only $350.00. 
Ouch! At least I know that they are still out there. But that's a price over 
my head. Which is why I'm searching for a used one. I would have thought given 
the age of these machines there would be a ton of used for sale. Not so I 
guess

Again, I thank you all for your thoughts and efforts
