really? I've got one just lying around.. Voodoo3 3000 PCI, waiting for a
use. I've also got several Matrox cards and a few network cards.

anyway, the BEST place to look is in the old freebie advert papers...eg
FridayAd - www.friday-ad.co.uk - the reasons? loads of PC folks upgrading
to GeForce2 etc 20 quid and up they go for.

I'm suprised they've sold any at all ;-) (no game has yet made me go 'wow!
i've gotta buy that console!' - whereas the Dreamcast gets a game like
that every other month... hmmm, SEGA will soon change the PS2 game itinary
(wonder whether they can develop any AmigaDE stuff.....)

yes, the IO cards are under less demand so more pricey
