Not to mention that if this were done, it would cheapen the
original
IIgs upgrades and render them worthless, or possibly send them to
heights of value untouchable by the average person. I don't
believe
my RAM cards have done this to the original IIgs ram cards, as I
did
not date mine. I also didn't name them the same as any other ram
card
available for the IIgs. I'm also considering stopping after this
initial
50 boards, which in turn will leave them as valuable one day as
all of
the other IIgs ram cards.  :o()   BTW to create the DIE necessary
to
stamp out, cut and bend these plates would cost upwards of many
$100's
and possibly into the $1000's. I haven't worked with metal plate
stamps
in many years so I haven't a clue anymore, but I can say it
wouldn't
be worth it to anyone. Hand-make them and maybe it could be done.

Send me one Brad and I'll make a schematic drawing of the plate
and try
to duplicate one, then tell you how much it would be to make
them, OK??
