I found something similar on Ebay the other day, but it was an accelerator card for an IBM XT. It can be found by searching for: "Univation Inc PC Turbocharger PC Accelerator Card (1984) RARE" It may be of interest if you're into these types of FPU boards.

Found this on Ebay for $30. A freaking reflective GOLD Amiga mouse. Rofl. If is pimp as hell.. Looks like something out of James Bond, except it is The Man with the Golden Mouse. All joking aside, it is super sturdy with some weight to it, tracks extremely well and smooth, and the buttons have a …

They vary from case to case. There is no universal size or hole placement. I have maybe 15 or so MHz displays, and all are different.
