WS-X6502-10GE, a 1-port CEF256 with proprietary LR optics which has been
End of Sale for about 5 years now. At one point they were the poor man's
alternative to a 6704, but these days they're so rare that they're far
more expensive than a sup720+6704. Of course, if you know the right
people, I bet you could probably still find one via dumpster diving, 
but unless you're trying to complete your museum collection I wouldn't 
recommend wasting the time.
