  Wow, that's amazing!!  I haven't seen
anything like it from JDR   since
  the 80's!  A JDR product offering with
something resembling a
 reasonable selling price!

 Are you sure that's not a typo on their webpage!?!?  
 I think I'm going to faint . . .  
 I donno, that seems kinda high to me... Especially considering a 
 pair of ISA floppy controllers could be had for $10 ($5ea), or less. 
Well, consider that it's somewhat specialized (not 'stock'), NOS,
and that the asking price is only 100% over what it's worth looks
like a milestone to me!

  JDR's "house brand" boards were nothing
but re-badged major brand 
 and 'cheap junk' boards. They used to peel/scrape stickers and markings

  off of boards made by companies such as Adaptec,
Diamond, Promise, and 
 others before taking photos for their catalog. I might still have some of

  those old catalogs around somewhere, but I probably
tossed them. 
Hah! Reminds me of a reseller I used to work for.  This Bozo would
re-label *everything* (including the manuals).  It was embarassing.
