From the Computer Shopper:  Syntax sells that AT I/O card for $15.  Look for
the rather lame Alan Alda lookalike.  Sheesh!  Reaches new heights of 
weirdness, but the prices are interesting.  EGA card for $61, 1.44 meg floppy
for $59.  80286-12 motherboard for $120.  Computrend sells the motherboard
for $95, but you've gotta buy 10 boards to get that lower price.

What type motherboards should one purchase?  Are they all basically the same
from manufacturer to manufacturer now? I want to ask this company more about the
$120 motherboard, but I don't know what to ask.
