Anyone collects or has old soundcards?

There is an interesting discussion about old graphics cards that people collecting going on in "Other Videocards" forum. Thought that maybe someone does for soundcards... here's what I have:
1) Some Creative Labs and Yamaha ISA cards. Unindentified mostly. Not sure if they work. Not mine. If anyone wants to identify them I can post photos.
2) Creative Live! 5.1 Digital Dell OEM SB0228.
3) Audigy OEM SB0092. Half-dead, but working.
4) TerraTec DMX Xfire 1024.
5) Creative Audigy SE 7.1 SB0570.
6) Terratec PHASE 22. Older revision.
7) E-mu 1212m. Old revision, with firewire.
8) Herculess Gamesurround Fortissimo III. Failed at some point, but works now.
I also had SB Audigy 2 OEM SB0244 but changed it with my friend to get PHASE 22. Anyone else collecting souncards?
I used to have TerraTec DMX 6fire but donated it to kenvy24 developer. He will make better use of it than I ever would.

I would love to have stuff from ST Audio/Hoontech, Emagic and M-Audio, those really old cards based on ICE1712, Motorola and Philips DSPs, or custom FPGAs, that used to cost hundreds of dollars but basically ain't worth anything today unless you enjoy collecting stuff.

i used to have a few old cards, but i've traded in, sold, or just given away most of them

on the had list:
e-Magic Audiowerk 8 - got off ebay, and could never actually get it to work, which was a shame
Sb Live 5.1 - the card that brought me to DH via the kX drivers
Sb Audigy ES - Traded the Live! in for it, sold on ebay a couple of months ago
Sb Audigy 2 ZS - Added to the kX config, sold with my old machine last year

I had afew ISA cards floating around aswell, Sb Awe 32, a number of unidentifiable ones, and i think an Sb PCI128 that was badged as something else...

Onto more recent cards I had a behringer FCA202 (2 ch firewire interface reviewed here.) sold that a few months ago aswell

now I have a Digidesign MBox 2 Pro as my main interface, and some no name 5.1 USB interface for windows/backup

Do you still have that Audiowerk? Was the hardware dead or it was just crappy drivers?
