Retrocomputing

Some of you may already know this, but I have an interest in antique/retro electronics. Part of that includes computers.

That's easier to do virtually. Using Virtualbox, I have been able to get version of MSDOS 3.3 with Windows 1.03, MSDOS 5, and MSDOS 6.22 with WFW3.11 running. Today, I tried to get my old 486 DX/33 with the original parts up and running next to my black&white Powerbook 110 and Apple //e. But, I'm missing the video card. :P

Anyone have any old ISA VGA video cards around? Maybe an Oak with 256K?

I'll poke around, unfortunatly we've been trying to not be such packrats, so we don't have nearly as much outdated computer equipment as we once had.
