all those CRTs :0

I catched the SVGA Mono 9" monitor and some older 15" Shamrock SVGA. Obviously I have no idea if they work. I leaved some 17" Belinea and 17" Samsung 795DF there - I have another one of those in much nicer condition, but also I have personal grudge against those monitors because like 20 years ago in my first job I was ordered to move alot of them around frequently, they are very heavy and I had to use staircases... They didn't want to buy me a platform trolley I requested, so I had to move them around manually... And I have a back problems now because of that. Immediately after them we started buying 15" Belinea LCDs and wow, what a relief it was, but sadly it was too late for my back.

Some more pics from today... for now that's all but I know there is more of this stuff there 😀

some more..

and more...

...and more...

...and last pics - other stuff isn't really worth showing, some random cables, peripherals, electronic boards from some devices (with some nice sockets and logic chips I will desolder)...

Anyway, can't wait to check if these things still work or not.

Nice ! I always get a laugh at the old Mono / Herc video cards with LPT ports. Nice Memory expansion card !

Well, while Hercules display adapter and it's clones had the LPT for the backwards compatibility with MDA, it actually made a lot of sense to integrate Line Print Terminal (LPT) and monochrome display connectors on the original IBM MDA card. Both the printer and monitor were viewed as equivalent output devices back then.

That is quite the impressive haul you found nice job

Technically I did not find it in a dumpster, but for free on Marktplaats (Dutch Craigslist) near me. I picked it up this morning 😀

It is a Samsung SyncMaster 753DFX, in great condition 😀 This is my first CRT monitor since I switched to TFT 15 years ago.

The image is just lovely, it does take up a lot of real estate though 😦

The sound of static on the glass when it turns on 😀 but best of all, the sound of degaussing 😁

I do miss the sounds of a crt. Especially the degaussing sound and the way the picture would get all warped.

Decent monitor there. .28 pitch I had one but wore the CRT out from long hours years ago.

Cheers,

Nice CRT - I'm actually surprised the wooden stand can withstand the whole weight of the monitor! 🤯

What's the story with the red vacuum cleaner? 🤣

Some people just brought some broken stuff from their homes too...

Yeah, looks like it. I will test some stuff tomorrow. I don't really expect anything to work anyway 😀

I got a similar one, the 753DF. Its a great monitor. I wonder what makes your DFX version different.

I uploaded some of your images in their respective pages we have 😀

Now for your second suntac 286 I noticed something very strange.

It looks exactly like my 286 that I uploaded here https://www.ultimateretro.net/motherboards/456
However mine has "286H" mention, and yours doesn't ... But it doesn't end here !
Your ROM says "KP286HF" ... but this is actually a motherboard name !
https://www.ultimateretro.net/motherboards/3839
But the board has a different layout ... What the hell ?

As for the Microstar 286 board, I can already tell that it won't work ... Someone seems to have taken off the crystals from your board x) (maybe even more stuff is missing ? who knows). Crystals are cheap and easy to install tho, so it might be worth trying new crystals 😀

Will you dump the bioses ?
