Hi there.

I don't know what you call "Slightly more expensive", but I bought a box containing a dozen old NE2000 clone cards for a fiver. So far, I've used five of them, and sold a further four for £3 each, and by my arithmetic, I don't think I could have done any better...
Best wishes from Riley.
