10/100 nubus cards, once scarce, seemed to have pretty much disappeared.
I've been doing a search on ebay without any luck for a couple weeks.
NOBODY really needs one anyway, nubus and 68k macs just don't speed up more
than about double a standard 10bt. I figure my best chance of finding one
is hunting in a pile of scrap higher end nubus macs like 8100 servers etc.

SCSI cards are a LOT easier to find, but most sellers seem attached to
about $25 pricing.

Same for the IIgs SCSI cards. I have a few with no interest in selling them
below top price, or really selling them at all even though I have a Focus
card with IDE drive. Only the latter so called Fast SCSI card supports
removable media, so don't waste your money on the early cards.
