Hello,
I know there are still a few people out there that make upgrade boards for abandoned systems like the Apple IIe - is there anyone that does this for XT class systems or is the spare parts market on Ebay so big that this is not worth doing? I've been trying to find 2 things specifically: an 8 bit memory expansion board that will allow upgrading to at least 512k, preferably 1MB and is also not a full length card, and an 8 bit IDE controller card with serial, parallel and game ports. Ideally the 2 boards combine into one somehow would be even better, but I don't think anything like this was ever made. So far, I haven't had much luck.
Other than e-bay, do you guys have any sources for parts you like, or are there any boutique or hobby level manufacturers of this stuff out there?
