Damn...talk about strikin' it rich!   Gee, I mean, If you owned an
Apple IIgs and went so far as to buy a Second Sight and a Ramfast card,
you'd think you were enough of a zealot to at least give or sell it to
someone who actually knew what it was worth.   Hmm...maybe the original
owner died. :S

Speaking of Fabrege Eggs...I just saw that someone was selling a
Saybrook 68000 board (for Apple II's) on ebay.    I sooooo much wanted
one of those back in the mid 80s  (eith that or a PDQ-II card, or a
DTACK Grounded, but as I recall the Saybrook was the better board).
This one's complete with manuals/disks as well.   Current bid is $52,
the high-bidder is  "a2cturley2".

I heard someone else claim they say a Synetix Super Sprite board on
there once....that'd be another fabrege egg.

Others might include the Stellation Two Mill (or VitaMill), the
Alpha Syntauri synthesizer setup,  Rana Elite disk drives,  some of
the rare accelerated math chips (Computer Station FP -- used the AMD
9511,
or the Applied Engineering one with the 68881).    I dont know how rare
Corvus Constellation hardware is...
