I have heard the AST and Boca cards mentioned several places (including the
FAQs).  I can find the Boca cards easily, but the handful of mail-order
places I have called can't find a serial card made by AST.  I know someone
out there has ordered and used them.  Would you please send me whatever
info you have on someone who sells the AST cards?

Thanks
Paco
