While there are a lot of people who are strictly collectors or users, many
of
us fall in between. I used to state adamantly that I was not a collector
then a
while ago I was placed in a very awkward position. I'd been using upgraded
800k drives with my SuperDrive cards and an opportunity came up to swap
a couple of them for read FDHD drives. The only difference between my
drives and the FDHD ones was the lettering on the front and the different
colour LED. Only a collector would care which he had.
I guess I'm sort of in between. I have a number of A2 peripherals still
in
shrink-wrapped boxes. While I don't plan on opening them without a good
reason, if one does come up I won't hesitate a lot.
$260 for a HS SCSI card? Probably not as I never really cared for them
very
much and if all of my HS SCSI cards died I likely wouldn't bother
replacing
them.. Now if all my ramfast SCSI cards died and I was forced to use an
Apple
HS SCSI card, thats a different story, I'd pay that much and more for a
replacement ramfast.
