Hi
Hope you still have the video card. I have a 7011(Microchannel) machine
without a video card. I have tried to hook it up to a terminal but that does
not work. I guess I will have to get the video card. Been trying for months
and even have a friend in Germany on the case for me. I ran into one some
time ago, from a commercial source, but it was beyond my meager means. Not
sure if that is the same video card, in your machine, but I am desperate to
try it. If still available I will definitely pay shipping and can also offer
something for trade if necessary. Please respond.

Headley
