Some of the better half. I really hope 8MB ATI Rage II works...and it does!

I received "POST" card for both PCI and ISA interfaces. I hope it will help me to identify the problems with POSTing my Tyan Tiger S2466 dual athlon MP soon 😀

Found this BTC sound card @21€.

Does anyone knows why it has a 27c256 OTP eprom ? Is it possible to find an ES689F or is it unobtainium ?

Are you referring to wave table something? I have an audodrive with it if that helps.

got again an ATI VGA Stereo/FX - maybe when it arrives in a month I'll also figure out the joystick/midi/line-in pins on that DB26 connector

... and maybe I will provide better pics for wikipedia, my old pic is used for that card and it's too crappy nowdays 🤣 🤣 🤣

Back in the day, I knew only one person who had one of these . I seem to recall he was happy with it .

To save resource settings.

Purchased this SC-55 from its renowned owner recently. There's slightly more to the story, but, suffice it to say, this is -the- Sound Canvas that was used for the scoring of Noctropolis and other titles.

Thing looks brand new.

I just purchased a GS-only logo SC-55 myself, but it's not in such a pristine condition as yours.

oh nice, some GS-only SC-55 😀
about time!

This beauty arrived today. Will make some tests on my Pentium 200 (atm with a Trident 3D 9750).

Have my fingers crossed for you. Some S3 Virge cards have OK display output, others are totally blurry and crap.

Ouch, really?? I'm hoping for a good display. Since I'm out of Blank CD and floppy disks, I cant' install it properly atm due lack of drivers. I bought a Gotek Floppy driver, once it arrives, I'll rejoice thinkering with old tech.

Got this a few days ago and loving it (even if it's being a little temperamental!)

Not hardware but if your foot it will definitely be painful. OS/2 2.1 UNLEASHED by SAMS Publishing from 1993. Over a thousand pages of OS/2 sweetness. The book is in excellent condition for it's age.

It will come in handy for my up coming OS/2 v2.1 installation on my MITEK 386DX25 system using scsi....

Just got this FX 5500 256Mb AGP recently for about 5 usd
