 These two VGA video cards are definitely 8-bits'.  Have already tested them

it's   good enough for the price.  In regards about the hard drives, I
currently      don't have any avaliable.  I'll post another flyer when I do.
If you want the 512k VGA video card, I'll make that $11 ship to your door
since we have made   deal before.  Let me know if you still need my address.
