Found one! Vetco here in Bellevue had a box of 'em... at the usurious
price of $9.50, but what can ya do?

At least I picked up some interesting 8-bit ISA cards for $1-$4 apiece,
namely:

- Silicon Valley ADP50 (IDE drives in PCs!)
- Kaypro NEC V20 accelerator/Z80 emulator card
- Kraft dual joystick adapter
- Ad Lib sound card
