Tony,
I thank you again for your fair offer. We all agree that it is a high
price, I thought I could have it at $400 but the last bids were really
high (especially mine). With the current FX rate of 1.5 USD for 1 EUR,
you know, I like buying things in the USA ;-)
If we compare it to its introductory price of USD 180 to which I
bought it a long long time ago, I just hope the card works well. My
test will be easy: play Cogito 2, a game Olivier Zardini and I
developed for the SS at that time. If it does not work, then it is
another story...
Now that I have my IIgs of the 90's (but the Soundmeister and the
Bluedisk controller cards) it is time to sell me software ;-)
