It's not too bad of a deal...I just got a Franklin Ace 1000 with none of that
stuff for $50. (I already had a couple disk controllers, Z80, etc... laying 
around the house....  With the 80 column card, that is worth it...)  I hate 
going back to 40 columns after having 80 for a while....  By the by...

Anyone have a Franklin 80 Column Card they would like to get rid of?
