ASROCK P4i945GC

Item is taken

Acer 1125 386DX-25 AT system up for grabs

FOR PARTS / NOT WORKING

It powers on but I hear no POST beeps, and there is no graphics card present to view anything on screen. It suffered from a battery spill disaster, but fortunately the battery was external and appears to have only leaked on the metal drive cage part of the case. I couldn't observe any corrosion/damage on the motherboard. Could possibly be repairable. You can see the extent of the corrosion/damage in the photos.

I did keep for myself the hard drive and the IDE/floppy controller card that you see in some of the pictures. There was no graphics card or 5.25" floppy when I got it, so these went missing a long time ago.

Includes basically what you see here: heavy duty case, MB/CPU, floppy drive, power supply, a couple of misc. I/O cards, ISA NIC, misc. cables, and the drive rails from the hard drive.

It's a big chonker so I'd really prefer local pickup instead of shipping, but I could try to source a sturdy box and packing materials if someone wants it shipped badly enough.

Just wanted to give an enthusiast a shot at it before it goes to the recycler or gets parted out further.

Located near Sharon Center, Ohio (44274).

Edit: CRT is gone

CRT was picked up

386 parts PC and Fujitsu HDD from a couple posts back are still available

New pm sent. I only post here because we're not notified otherwise.

Got your messages. I'll look into that for you!

Must go for shipping price.
Ideally the 3 items at once.

That DTC SCSI is new in the box.
I very gently opened it by making a minimal cut on one side of the plastic wrap - for a brief functionality test.

Thank you very much for the quick answer, unlucky I'm in Europe, if I give you the address can you check how much is going to cost?

How about a 3D printed IO plate for an Asus TX97-XE? A new item for old hardware.

I recently modified an IO shield for a different board to work on my TX97-XE. My first print worked perfectly, but there was a line on the print I wanted to remove. So, I removed it, or so I thought, and printed a 2nd shield to see if it worked. Stupid line was still there. So, I shelved the edit until I have a day off to work on it. However, that means I have an extra TX97 IO shield I don't need. So...

If anyone in the United States wants it, I will happily ship it to you for free. It won't cost much more than a stamp since it's so lightweight.

Below is a photo of the plate. You can see the line going through the A in Asus. 😜

Man, I would love those VideoSeven Vega VGA driver + utility disks since I have at least one of those cards. I saw "Bristol" and got my hopes up, but alas, Bristol UK is much farther away than Bristol, Tennessee.

Also, just out of curiosity... what is in the brown mystery box?

This is a shot in the dark, but is anyone close enough to western New York state or NW PA who would be interested in a broken Sony CPD-1302 "multisync" monitor from the late 80s? This would be a VGA, EGA, CGA, 15khz, etc. multi-function type deal... if it worked.

I got it a few years ago but the seller shipped it with almost no packaging so the tube neck broke and there is some other physical damage to it. It's a very unique looking monitor so would make a very cool display piece if you are into that kind of thing. Otherwise, If you have another similar monitor you may be able to use this for parts, or make one working monitor out of the two. I can take pictures if anyone is interested, but I really have no interest in shipping this for obvious reasons, so it would have to be picked up.

I wanted so badly to get it fixed some day but I have so many other things piling up I'm clearly never going to get around to it. My list of "EGA monitors that need repairs to be usable" looks to be growing, while the "usable EGA monitors" list remains empty.

There is of course the possibility that I will find other misc computer related things that are too difficult to ship if someone is going to bother making the trip here. If interested, please PM me so I don't miss your message.

Also, I have a rather unique RCA MSR-130 stereo receiver from the 80s, with a functional radio but something wrong with the amplifier section. These were never sold at retail. They were a part of the RCA "CED" video player display setups that were sent to stores. So, it actually has a "VIDEODISC" input selection button... which is a crazy thing to see on a device made when most people were just starting to use VHS tapes. A friend of mine who worked for a local cable company for decades pulled this out of what he referred to as a "head end" in our area, where it could be used to switch audio signals for very localized "channels"... I was given the example of an emergency broadcast which would override the expected cable broadcast. Anyway, none of that has anything to do with the device itself... they just needed a stereo receiver for that purpose and one of these probably was being thrown away by a local store or RCA repair shop once the display was no longer used. I used it in the garage at my old house for a couple years until the amp seemingly died.

Cool story, and a very interesting device, but I just don't have time to fix it and I don't have an immediate need for another stereo receiver, so if anyone here wants this and a busted EGA monitor just let me know... 😀
