Hmmm--and the card was obviously scanned rather than photographed,
since the traces are out of focus.

I guess I don't see why these would be of any interest to collectors--
and for users, they are just second-best to a real Apple 3.5 Disk
Controller.

Of course, it would be good to see more of these become available,
but I wouldn't expect any price *premium* over an Apple card, which
would be about $100-$150, depending on scarcity.
