    Nope, Alltech is still selling the Sirius RAM IIgs card and as
far as I know, and have no plans to discontinue it anytime in the 
near future. Even in a worst case scenario like that, you can still 
get Sequential Systems' RAM GS (4 MB) and RAM GS Plus (8 MB) boards.

    If you want to get something before it disappears, I would get
an Alltech SoundMeister card. That has been officially discontinued
and when existing stock runs out, you won't be able to purchase it
any longer. That's unfortunate since it's the *last* stereo card/
sound digitizer still being sold for the IIgs.

    At least you can still purchase memory boards and hardrive 
controllers new, that's something. I wouldn't be surprised if
they too disappear from the market in the next couple of years
due to lack of sales though.
