Well, I tried contacting you via email, but no dice, apparently, so
I'll state here: since I have no LCDs for my IIGS, I'd be very
interesting in trading or selling this thing with anyone who would
want it. The buyer would have to cannibalize a new 16-pin gameport
connector, as I pulled the thing out wrong when I took the pictures
and most of the pins are just barely hanging on, but everything else
about it is in fine shape. I'd love to trade for a SCSI controller, or
just sell it if that's what you want. Anybody interested, feel free to
contact me: commodorejohn@gmail.com
