ASUS made an ITX board for the Pavillion S7000 which took only a single DIMM. Some were regular DDR/DDR2 (Not sure) but all the ones I have seen were laptop memory as they took mobile Celeron processors from the Core 2 era (In short, they were like slow Pentium III's).

I briefly owned one of these, it was awful.

I had one of those boxes, except mine was more powerful (though not passively cooled obviously). To be more specific, a s7630.nl with a Core Duo T2050 and 1GB DDR2 (dual-channel) and a GeForce 7500LE. It was my main box between 2006 and 2010, having run XP, Vista and 7. Good memories. (and hipster cred for being an early mini-ITX user)

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Intel D945GCLF Atom board yet. I'm still running a couple of these in server type applications.

Can you provide more info about 486 Industrial PC, what is the name, what scb inside.

Today i received:

Not the original picture, but same card and same memory configuration.
This is also my second one. Only have to look for upgrading the video memory..

This one is the original:

Iam waiting on this GUS ACE card
(also my second one)

OLD panasonic yellow cd-rom player (seems to work fine, only have to de-yellow the bezel) (only 3 euros)

Some ATX convertor cable for older power supplys.

Also received a lot of 30 pin simms, and 72 simms.

What is special about GUS Ace?

And some hi-res photos:

Wheres like button, 1st time i missing it here.... Could you tell us how much cost these days this dream card? Also waiting for drivers screenshots - they must have some special options.....

Its easier to combine with an soundblaster card.. Its designed for that purpose..
The ace can disabled the adlib part so it wont conflicting with the adlib from the soundblaster.

The ACE is not more then an Ultrasound pass-through soundcard without any hassle to make it work with other cards that conflict an regular ultrasound card.

I didn't buy these I got them for free but it's still cool and certainly retro. 😁

Sorry don't know much about this system yet except that it's a microcomputer with an 8088 cpu (I think) and it is not working / is missing the keyboard. It switches on and the screen works but it doesn't appear to be self testing or anything.

Also I got this PS/2 monitor that works but may need to be adjusted since it's a bit dark / out of focus.

Also this old Taxan RGB Color monitor that is IBM PC / APPLE II / APPLE III compatible.

Also this Gateway pentium III I'm going to tear down for parts.

In the Zenith were these cardboard pieces to protect the drives 🤣.

That is a CLEAN looking Gateway!

Yeah, if it works, it's a shame that you're planning to take it to pieces.

It's just a Pentium 3 system though, nothing particularly special about it and I certainly don't need more computers. 🤣

Meh maybe I'll sell it or something if it works but I'm certainly not going to keep it. I'm more interested in the broken Zenith than that thing. 🤣

"Just a Pentium 3" - 5-10 years ago, things were "just a Pentium". 😉 If no one saves these things now, there'll be nothing left to save. The Zenith is definitely interesting... I wonder if as little as fitting a keyboard would fix it?

To be fair you can not save everything, and when you have enough computers you have enough computers. I am starting to figure out what I want to keep, what I want as backups/spares and what is going to end up sold or given away.

My guess is it's a Zenith Z-120, see eg. http://home.earthlink.net/~z100lifeline/data/Z100Begin.html
An 8085 and an 8088 CPU. Kind-of MS-DOS compatible.

Yeah that's what I thought as well. It's freaking cool as hell, I'm going to have to find a keyboard for it and try to get it to boot up. Hmm the info on that page is interesting! I can't wait to look at this thing more. 😁

This thing is literally my ideal 8088 computer with it's all in one design, it's just so goddamn cool looking. 🤣

Yeah, I'd recommend trying to fix up that Zenith you have as well. That thing looks uber cool, and it's an 8088! 😎

MICRO? with only one? Thats like intentionally selling a 3-legged horse. All i've EVER seen is 2 or 4. hell, my micro atx server board has 6 slots and 2 cpus. 😜 there's literally NO reason to shoot yourself in the foot over 1 memory slot on micro-atx.

Now if you got ITX, thats a whole different story, and 1 slot is common.

A motherboard with only 1 memory slot might be an OEM version of the motherboard. They don't want you upgrading your system when it starts to get slow or can't run the latest software any more. They want you to buy a new computer. Limiting your upgrade options forces that.

I don't think that's an 8088 machine. Probably a 8080/8085 or Z80. You would need a CP/M floppy if that's the case, and good luck finding software for it. Most of the CP/M repositories closed down a long time ago and there's not a lot of people sharing the software any more. There might be a couple of websites with *SOME* of the formerly vast collection of CP/M software, but I strongly suspect that much of it is permanently lost.
