Is that your third CT1300? I guess the other 2 had Gameblaster box art.

Yep - that's why I snagged it.

Yeah, I haven't ever seen one with the original CMS packaging. 😲

No, i didnt removed heatsink. Its just underclocked 64bit FX5200. Even bios have string FX5200. They made them in 2004 for oem.

Btw i never heard of this beauty same as Google 😀
ELSA XHR.C - early CAD card from 1986 - same year ELSA started graphic card production. Sadly not working - its maybe addon accelerator or nonPC stuff (see no bios on card).

Holy crap, that FX5100 is 20% slower than a FX5200. nVidia must have had serious yield issues with nv34 and accumulated a lot of broken cores for this card to even exist. I can't see them designing such a useless chip intentionally. At that speed, it's probably not even any good at running DX8 games, forget DX9.

Hmm my Creative Music System only has 3 books - User Manual, Utilities Manual, Intelligent Organ Manual - and 5 disks - Song Diks 1 and 2, Master Disk, Intelligent Organ and Utilities.

You should image your extra disks and put them on Vogons Drivers 😀

If you are squeamish, don't prod the beach rubble.

It's incomplete - or at least the seller can't find them at the moment. I don't have any of the disks - just the card itself and the box.

The title doesn't say it has to be computer hardware... I discovered recently that Tamiya have re-released some of their classic kit cars, and my inner child insisted that I buy him the Hornet that Santa never left under the tree. If you were a boy living in my particular corner of the world in the 80's then you either had one of these, or you wanted one. Also popular were the Grasshopper and the Frog. Next best thing was the toy class "Jet Hopper Turbo", which was a very cool pre-built thing that was available everywhere.

I picked up the kit from HK because they're cheaper than they are locally - even after shipping. And I bought the controller - the classic stick radio - locally:

AWE64 Gold

Came out to just under $20 with shipping. Have the prices come down, or did I just luck out with good timing?

Timing does matter. The high prices we saw several months back weren't sustainable and the market figured that out.
