It surprises me because I bought that card new in 198something, and
was never wildly impressed with it. It required software to be loaded
into it before doing anything, and if a user should happen to press
the button without pre-loading any software, it would freeze the
machine, locking it up tight.

I still have it and the software too, and was just wondering if its
value had meant that someone had found a good use for it.

I was shocked at the final hammer price...
