PC/Apple/etc. Cards Worth Keeping/Storing

[Marvin Johnston]

Many thanks to those of you who have commented on this thread!

I probably have at least a couple dozen IBM PCs, XTs, ATs, Convertibles,
Jrs, PS/2s, RT, etc. along with a fairly complete set of IBM technical
documentation for them. I've also got quite a few IBM cards and
motherboards, so these are not something I am looking to get rid of.

Tony mentioned the IBM professional graphics card and monitor, and that
is something I would like to get hooked up just to see how it looks.
AFAIK though, I only have one PGA monitor and card.
