I have a number of them.  Problem is, they all have varying capabilities 
in their firmware.  Some of the old Apple branded ones are close to be 
dumb hardware interfaces.  On the other extreme are things like the AE 
Parallel Pro that could do all sorts of tricks.

Can you find out exactly what the old one was?  Another thing to consider 
is that there's not much on those boards that can't easily be replaced. 
Do you know anyone with a soldering iron and some patience?
