Meets and greets, all!

First post, and It's Exactly What It Says On The Tin 😁

I am searching for someone who has, and is willing to sell, one of these AIW I/O Hubs. I am currently located in The States, and I will pay immediately, preferably with PayPal. Unfortunately, eBay's been rather scant with availability for these, and the sites that suggest they sell this item are dodgy at best. Otherwise, Vintage/NOS hardware sites have depleted their stock some time ago.

Perhaps one of you can assist a Damsel in Distress?

EDIT

Here is another set of fotos of both the card & cables, with an especially good foto of the hub in question...

I am going to assume that is a, "No," from you, Mr. Tetrium. I have already perused and checked most Vintage/NOS boards already, and am quite desperate to find this particular part. It's neither irrational, nor unreasonable, to surmise that the Vintage Computing Enthusiasts here may have such a part laying about, either as part of a full OEM set, or as a loose part. 😕

I thank you for the sincere and warm welcome you have extended me; you do know how to make a girl feel warmly welcomed in such a specialised and niche community. 😢

If anyone else has this part or can put me on the correct path, please PM me. 😀

^^ Don't take it too personally, some of the regulars here are rather blunt. But yeah "no buy & sell" is a long-standing forum rule, and that includes wanted posts. (It's a dumb policy IMO, but is what it is.)

Anyway I came in here to wish you good luck, I have the same card and I've been casually looking for that dongle for over a year. No dice so far. I ended up just buying a different capture card. You might have to go to one of the dodgy re-sellers if one doesn't come up on Ebay.
