<shrug> Isn't it still possible to get a brand-new PCI catweasel that will
do exactly what this thing does for less money?

Good point, but possibly not as vintage an approach.
What do I know...
And you do realize that timing can be everything

"M S" = Miniscribe? Certainly not MicroShaft LOL LOL
Thanks, but I'll stick with the controllers embedded
in my NEC APCs. I also have a System 23/Datamaster
(don't ya just love the name). Stupid spindles never
stop spinning...
I also have a 3rd party adapter allowing ooh 5 1/4"
drives to work with my APC (by Butler Flats Associates
- sounds like a firm who's business is to find "flats"
for their clients. Or maybe butlers. Or maybe flats
w/butlers ready to go LOL LOL LOL). But how times have
changed. Can't imagine too many people emptying their
wallets for a card that'll allow the use of 5 1/4's.

Hmmmm, I've got a couple of the M S 8" adapter
boards; wonder if I
could get $250 the each for them?

Seems that once the price passed $125, two bidders decided to slug it
out.
BTW, does anyone have a 80C188 or 80C186 development board that
they'd like to be shed of? If so, drop me a line.

hmm, I might if I could be bothered to wait the few minutes it takes for a web
browser to load on this old beastie :-)
From the mention of ebay in the URL I'm guessing that it's some
way-overpriced item that can be purchased *far* cheaper elsewhere, quite
possibly in superior form (faster, more reliable, more flexible etc.).
At least, that's the usual situation whenever ebay and puzzlement occur in the
same message :-)
"It doesn't have to make sense - people will still buy it" should be
ebay's
marketing slogan...

Prices on old new-in-box hardware always tends to get a little wonky.

I've been trawling eBay lately for XT cards - some of the prices are
ridiculous from the shop sellers - CGA cards for &US175 for example.... when
you can pick up a used 5150 for $10 in other auctions <sigh>. Never should
have thrown out the boxes of old cards - I'd be rich!
