All Caps are missing on the soundcard.

When in a childhood you was hit by capacitor, then you grew up and began to take revenge! :lol:

The Capripper has struck again 😲 If you have a decent soldering iron you could just give it a go, replace the caps and it might still work. Sometimes people think they can make something better by replacing caps/resistors etc, start to furiously remove parts just to realize they don't have the hardware or experience to finish the job and the PCB goes straight to the bin (speaking from my own experience here).

New caps are dirt cheap anyway. Even it turns out to be broken, you've still "earned some exp" for future repairs 🤣

Hehe, indeed... 😈

No will not give up so fast. Yes, the replacement parts will cost few cent and I will try to repair...

For the caps..
I see here a "10" on the top:

..and here at the bottom..

a "16".

16V 10µF I assume...

Then I need the thing with the 3 legs...ahhhh...forget the name 🤣 Will desolder the other one and take a look at it...

A transistor 😁
Also - check for short on those.

Ahhh thanks, just forgot the word 🤣 🤣 🤣

A 133mhz socket 4 overdrive? Those are NOT common, and generally expensive. I'm envious!

Correct, glad to hear that. 😁 Always interested in uncommon/odd stuff 😀

It looks brand new. Does it work? Curious spacing of the SIMM slots. It has external PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports - is this from a Compaq, Dell, Gateway, or similar case?

Do you intend to test the bus mouse?

The yellow label on the board reminds me of ones I've seen on Compaq-branded Matrox cards from the late 90s, so I would lean toward it being a Compaq board.

I know it is an Intel board. The L2 cache arrangement is a dead giveaway. Iirc it is the "batman" board. I have no clue why it is called that.

High treason made an awesome video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHVAjUEQi4w

Intel used exactly the same layout for many boards from that era. My Neptune board looks exactly the same, but has socket 5:

There was a Compaq-branded Matrox card in the late 90's? I frankly never heard of it. What was it? Mystique?

It looks very nice, but I don't know if its used. Can't give an answer to where it's from either. But yes it works, I had to mod the RTC to cr2032. Sadly it seems to be a bit locked in bios, the advanced chipset menu is nowhere to be found (Ami bios). 😢

There are a few. I have some. They come up in Google searches pretty easily and some have those yellow/orange stickers.

I have one from 1997(date on the board) in my collection, its a Mystique 220. I think I have seen a Millenium/Millenium2 as well somewhere.

picked up a matrox power VR card today. Do you think it'll play nice with a voodoo 3?

Probably not.

Hard to say. It plays nice with a Radeon 9100...

Ordered a Female DIN5 to male PS2 adapter as I try to get two Tandy 1000s (SL and TL) working from one Tandy keyboard via KVM. The KVM has DIN5 connectors for each Tandy on the input cables but the output on the KVM is a PS2 port. Hoping the adapter works as I had no luck with any standard or Model M PS2 keyboards I tested

hmpf have all parts together except this "transistor". Its labeled "79L05", a "Negative Regulator". Think I have to order it, all other cards I have in spare have a 78L05 which is different 😒

79L05 is not a transistor but a voltage regulator. It takes +12V input from the wavetable connector and outputs -5V.

ps: you need to check U1 and C13 (damaged -> replace)
