Eraser: The ISA slot was something that was exciting to me at first but after reading your writeup I became much less interested in the card. It seemed like you had to build a full PC inside the Mac to get VGA, etc. The later PC Compatibility cards do a much better job of making those features seamless. If the Orange card had onboard VGA and you could use the ISA slot for a SoundBlaster card or something then that would be a bit more cool.

My adventures were my adventures. Somebody smart will always spot a way to abuse the Orange NuBus cards in ways that I failed to imagine.

The later DOS/PC compatibility cards have oodles more functionality. Getting them to run at all or to run them on an unsupported system can give an interesting story.
