Lemme see, I've got 3 original Transwarps, a Titan Accelerator, a Zip
II-8mhz, 5 TWGS's (one at 18mhz), 2 12.5mhz Zip GSX's, a 10mhz //c+,
and a 10mhz Rocket Chip (I think these are even more rare than the
Transwarp II). I think Sean and Tony are the only other people who can
match.

However, my drive controller collection is much more impressive:

3 Liron Cards
1 Laser UDC large board
1 Laser UDC small board
1 OKS Multi Cache Card w/SCSI adapter
1 Apple 3.5" Controller
2 Ramfast SCSI's Rev C's
2 Ramfast SCSI's Rev D's
1 Ramfast SCSI Rev D - blank PCB
3 Focus Drives
1 CFFA Card
3 Vulcans
1 Innerdrive
2 Apple HS SCSI's
1 Apple Rev C. SCSI
1 MicroDrive
1 Micro Drive Turbo
~15 Disk II controllers

I used to have another Apple 3.5" Controller, a Turbo IDE card, and a
C-Drive, but those have been traded away, sigh.
