Re: IIGS SCSI card

[Dain Neater <dneater@inebraska.com>]

I was just wondering from the 'collectors' out there.  What makes people
want to have a sealed SCSI card, or any other card for that matter?  If you
can't use it what good are they?  At least with a coin or a baseball card
you can put them in a plastic case to look at.

I guess I will just never understand collecting things just for the sake of
having things to take up room in my house.

That being said.  I wish I could afford one on e-bay, but at the 150+ price
range.  My money is better spent.

If anyone could produce a SCSI card cheaply, you could make some cash.
