This may be a little off-topic but still of some interest. I've noticed this listing on Ebay:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem … item=6876538399
The shipping is just a bit steep but from what I can tell there are a few interesting items in that pile. It is really hard to tell how many different cards are there, looks like more than a dozen. Some cards look unusual -- there are connectors that look more like RS232 than conventional joystick/MIDI port. The auction picture is actually a nice puzzle: how many cards can you identify just by looking at the backplate. Total Hardware (http://th99.too.it/) may help but not much: for example, the third card from the bottom of the right pile is most likely Soundblaster but it can be either 2.0, Pro, Pro2, or early 16.

OMG 😳
I think I'll pass 😜. The card visible top center (with only the two RSA jacks on the back) probably is a Mitsumi CD-ROM controller card. For the others, it's really hard to tell.
And what's that strange stuff on some of the card's line-out and spk-out jacks? glue? 🙄
