That get's my vote!  I have a 1.5 Meg internal expansion ( ya, I'm gonna try
that piggyback thing! ) so I don't need 4M - 2 would be what I want, then
I can create a 1.5Meg RAD on my InBoard!  But $1280?!?!!?  There is _no_
chance of me coming up with that.  $600, maybe, $300 for sure.  So it's
easy to see which way I'm leaning!
