A good friend of mine since me a box of goodies - does that still count as a conquest? 
The contents?
Various compact flash cards to be used for my various IDE to CF projects
Newton OS 2.0 CD-ROM and a bit of documentation
An original iSight camera
2 ADB to USB adapters
An 8-inch floppy disk*
...and last but not least, a working Apple IIe Compatibility Card! The same friend gave me a cable for the malfunctioning card that I have a couple of years ago but of course, I couldn't use it until now! I'll be looking for the correct 5.25" floppy drive next. I also found out why my previous card wasn't working... I guess... one of the caps and the pad is coming off the board. Pretty sure that'll do it. Time to hire someone for some recapping.
*The 8-inch floppy is more of a comical item than something that would be used. He has a couple boxes of them, but nothing that uses them, and even though he's 3-4 years older than I am, he's never used a system that used 8-inch floppies.
