Original IBM PC cards are probably worth saving

The other reason to keep original IBM PC cards is that the schematics
and tech info are published, so they're easy to modify and/or use for
special purposes, like the disk conversion devices and functions people
are always talking about here. It's pretty easy to make an original IBM
Floppy Controller work with anything that the 765 controller will talk
to.
I hope I'm not the only person with a fairly complete IBM-published
hardware 'technical reference' set for the PC/XT/AT line.
