The postman knocked more than twice today 😉
- Mediamagic ISP-32 OPTi 930 + QDSP QS700 sound card
- Compaq SW400 motherboard - dual Slot 1 i840 dual-channel RAMBUS chipset
- Matching 375W non-ATX PSU
Surprise: all seem NOS. The motherboard and PSU look like never used FRU stock, the sound card box is badly battered but the contents looks unused too 😀
No huge fan of OPTi sound cards, but this has a 1:1 OPL3 clone ("DSP24S") and half-decent QDSP wave table. i840 was the unobtainium back in the day, and even today Intel's OR840 is hard to find and pricey. Was very happy to find these. Hope I have more luck than with all the i820 boards I ever found. Literally tens of them, all dead, apart from the one with MTH and SDRAM - it was even rock-stable.
