Hi 😀
Starting this summer, I decided to have a look at the parts I've been collecting for so long and began testing and building... The end results were these:
- i486DX33 on Soyo 025D2/8MB SIMMs/Cirrus Logic CL-GD5426 VLB/Sound Blaster 16 PnP ISA/500mb HDD
- Pentium MMX 200Mhz SL27J on ASUS SP97V/32MB EDO/Matrox Millenium PCI/miroHISCORE 3D (Voodoo1)/Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold PnP ISA
- Celeron 400MHz on a BX440 motherboard (can't remember)/Voodoo3 3000 AGP/768MB SDRAM/40GB HDD/Sound Blaster Live!
- Pentium II 450MHz (Slot 1) on Abit AB-BH6/256MB SDRAM/QDI V2200 (Rendition Verite) AGP/OPTi 82C931 (PowerColor I think) ISA/3Com 3C905 PCI
- PowerMac G4 400MHz Sawtooth/1.5GB SDRAM/OS9.2.2/ATI 9200/80GB HDD/AirPort Classic/Sound Blaster Live! PCI
- PowerMac G4 733MHz Digital Audio/1.5GB SDRAM PC133/OSX Tiger 10.4.11/80GB HDD/nVidia GeForce3 (stock)/AirPort Extreme/M-Audio Delta 24|96
- Amiga 500 (stock)
- Amiga 1200+4GB CF
- Commodore 64 with a 1531 datassete w/ adapter(!)
Needless to say that the wisdom of this community here proved invaluable lots of times and so did the driver collection, thus I got around to registering hehe 😀
Also have some working motherboards with Celeron 300A (Slot1), AMD K6-233 and K6-2 300, some old Pentiums, two more i486DX33, a i486DX2, an Am486DX4-100, a Celeron 433MHz, three Voodoo3 3000 AGP, a Voodoo3 3000 PCI, a couple of S3 Trio64V, an S3 Savage4GT AGP, a Diamond Stealth 2000 Pro S3 with maxed ram, a Cyrix 6x86-P150+GP (beautiful!), some boxes with EDO/SDRAM/DDR1, some SB16/Vibra16s PnP ISA and many PCI SB Live!s...
Last, an untested motherboard with Am386-SX40, three untested Voodoo3 3500s (don't have their cable or a VESA PnD adapter), an MMX 233 SL27S that might be shot (most of the time works without crashes but sometimes won't POST), a PowerMac G4 400MHz sawtooth with a busted PSU (which I will get around to replace sometime eventually), a rusty PCChips M919 motherboard with FakeCache(TM) technology and two boxes with P3 and P4-era stuff which I can't remember and still haven't even bothered to see what's in there 🤣
Oh... and two IBM 5155s, though last time I checked only one of them was working...
It's actually a quite nice hobby fooling around with old hardware, fixing things and building working towers, despite it being inversely proportional to spare time and space in your room 😒
