I conquested an Asante MacCon during my "forced absence" by the mods, so it's a not very recent. I managed to score it for only $85 as opposed to the close to $200 that they normal…
Bought a Flower Power iMac G3 that turned out to have a G4 upgrade inside.

Scooped up this one today. Has all floppies and documentation that go with the 6100 DOS card. Now all I need is the actual card and angle adapter for my 6100 DOS compatible. :-/
