I got this early VGA card made by ATi, the ATi VIP (VGA Improved Performance). +-1987. I think it also has an EGA connection. Look forward to test it! Need to find info on the dipswitches/jumpers.

Also, noticed this on the bottom. http://i.imgur.com/ntMcrhbl.jpg?1 Either it was a sample, or maybe just for sale in Canada only? Iirc it had something to do with patents or copyright..something or so. I don't think it's a sample. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMC_Green_CPU In 1994, Intel alleged …

This bunch got delivered a few days ago. Not very special but it wasn't very expensive (just a few euro). My apologies for the bad pictures, I dropped my phone a few times too many it seems...

I'm not sure what type of cache module you need exactly, but COAST modules are (relatively) easy to find. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_on_a_stick What is the model number? I'm always in favour of not scrapping complete machines, especially if they work.

I have this one in my spare parts/recycler box. It's branded Tulip and might not work if I read the comment above me, but I have no use for it so you can have it if you want for shipping costs. Although depending on where you are located those might be steep and we'll need to find out if it is …

I just want to add that it's an Asus board, they even have the support page still up: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/PCII-A486S/HelpDesk_Manual/ Looks like a nice board, proper battery etc, but finding the riser and case might be a pain.

The price premium for Amiga hardware is pretty nuts True that. Locally here in Denmark, 1200's go for some 400 US Dollars average price. 600's go for some 250 US Dollars average. Yet I have seen 1200's at sale up to around 800 US Dollars, wich is so crazy that I can't imagine what the seller was …

I put a low bid on this a while back, did not expect to hear from it again. Much newer than what I usually deal with, I don't think I have a fitting system for it yet... The dual pIII board in your signature looks fitting? Isn't it a bit to new for that? If I Google it a bit the 1950 Pro was …
