Do you have any cards you're willing to trade for an 8-bit VGA Card?
A bit off topic I think :D
No I don't ATM, just starting in this adventure, so I am looking to buy at first.
I am having trouble finding local places to buy these types of things from, but I am still looking.
There is the Vintage Computer Festival which may run this year (usally October/November at the CHM.)
There is a Bay Area Classic Computer Collectors email list (BACCL) that you could join:

There aren't any regular meet-ups that I'm aware of, but then maybe I'm just not invited!

Ya, most the vintage stuff I've found doesn't come from local sources. Weird Stuff in the South Bay may have a few things in their bone bins, but after looking a couple times I concluded it's better to buy something off eBay than spend time looking through boxes and boxes hoping to find something vintage.
Thanks for the info.
I did manage to find this: http://www.crc.org/fundraisers/index.html
Seems like a decent place to go hunting, though I think it will be more contemporary parts. I may go to the Santa Rosa one this Saturday, and there is one in Sunnyvale.
