    The card in this auction was more than just a card too.  My card I sold
last year sold for $152.50, went to Norway if I recall...   I sold a lot of
IIgs stuff all at once.  Perusing the local Goodwill one week, I found Two
IIgs's, with a combined: Second Sight Video card, ZipGS, AE Vulcan Hard Drive,
GS RAM Plus, Sequential 4 Meg Card, PC Transporter, RAM Fast SCSI Card.  Don't
want to tell what I paid, may make you too sad...
