And are there other categories of products that might become future

One thing it took me quite a while to find was one of the (I think) original
Microsoft mice that used a male plug on the mouse and a female DB-9 on the
card. And along that lines, probably Windows 1.03, Windows 286, Windows 386,
and probably Windows 3.0 (though perhaps quite a ways in the future.)
I would expect the first CD-ROM drives to be collectable, early MO drives,
accelerator cards, the early Sound Blaster, Microsoft Sound System, the
early WORM drives, perhaps the HP Laserjet (128K memory), the first IDE
drives, and of course the documentation.
