They still are quite useful, but you are correct that the combination
of CFFA and CiderPress has certainly made them unnecessary.

I was lucky enough to get one from Shreve Systems for a whopping $50. They apparently got overstock from Apple or something but never really advertised that they had them. I thought it was a bargain at the time for a NIB "rare" card. The few that popped up on ebay back then were going for a mere $100. I found it useful at the time, it saved me from having to setup my Localtalk network or using a Mac as a "slave" to transfer stuff to 800k disks. I guess I won't get into how I snagged a TWGS with 32k cache for $25 or a VOC for $40...;)
