Bill, I don't think I ever saw a GPM card in my years of Sol collecting. 
  There might have been one on ebay once, but it is a vague memory.  The 
appear to be exceedingly rare, which is probably the bigger reason why 
your inbox wasn't flooded with offers.  ;-)

As I recall, the GPM card was situated in the same address block as the 
NS disk controller, so you couldn't have both in a system without 
relocating one or the other.

BTW, I thought the canonical GPM software was the ALS development firmware.
