STD BUS stuff used to be very common. I've found

controller applications. From billboards to automated machine tools and
industrial monitoring equipment to specialized test systems. They can
still be found on ebay but are not near as common as they were. I would
expect to pay between $10 and $20 for a common card. CPU cards might be
a little higher. Many sellers on ebay do not know what a STD BUS card is
and will list them without the STD BUS designation. It makes them harder
to find but means you can get a better deal.
I have several plastic storage bins full of mostly brand-new STD BUS cards
with software and documentation plus two or three little boxed backplanes
with power supplies.
If there's anyone interested in making an offer on the lot, please contact
me privately and I'll see about pulling together an inventory list.
