I just received the IBM Music feature card I bought, and I'm curently in the process of checking everything.
The card itself looks quite good. Just a little costmetically on the very left edge of the card (parts of the black stamped letters have minor "scratch" marks from the card holder), and the MIDI breakout box is sligthly yellowed.
There are also some software included:
I can use run MFCED programs, but I have no idea how to use them. The package included a diagnostics program, and it verified that all was fine with card 00, but that card 01 failed the first test (obivously). From this I guess that the card works, and perhaps I can actually use it after I have read through all the help files on the MFCED disks.
The disk images are a little too big to upload here, but I'll send them to anyone interested; just PM me with your email address.

There are also some software included:
- Compose and PlayRec on original disk with original sleeve.
- Exact copy of Compose and PlayRec, no sleeve, quite a lot of wear on disk surface.
- Two disks labbeled "MFCED". It appears to be the complete FM-PAK/A from "Association of Shareware Professionals" (don't know if this is the shareware version or full version, I hope it's the full one).
- A disk labbeled "Songwrite V Data backup", a backup of some tunes I guess. Sadly, the actual "Songwrite V" program wasn't included.
