Why would you (or anyone) buy something without knowing what it is...?

The "Sounding Board" is otherwise known as the "LANtastic Voice Adapter," and provides basic 8-bit AD/DA functionality. Other than DIGPAK support, there's not much gaming applicability here.

Maybe it was cheap and he thought he could resell it to someone who knew what it was and was willing to pay more than he did?

Haha! I paid like 10 bucks and I have a sweet spot for nos and everyting shrink-wrapped. Tho now that I know what is it I don't want it.

Picked up a Shuttle AI61 slot A motherboard with 256mb RAM, Athlon 750 CPU, and SiS 6326 video card for $15.00. This board has the AMD chipset, so it will work with Thunderbirds and I intend to put my 950 Tbird in it.

Some classics. A 6600GT AGP, Radeon 4850 and a GTS8800 512.

Are Radeon HD4K and GF8 considered vintage already?

Hehe maybe it's a bit too soon, but got to start working on DX9 setups before prices start to ramp up.

Dont have access to my computer to resize pictures and post directly into tje thread, but made a photo album:

- Matrox Ultima (PCI) IS-ATLAS R1 - 1993 - This has to be one of the first available PCI video cards on the marked!
- PowerVR Midas3
- 2x AMD K5 PR166
- IBM 6x86 P166+
- AMD K6 233mhz
- OEM 3dfx discs

After a swap deal on AmiBay I got (again) a SCB-55 daughterboard 😀
The one I got does not have the channel reverse patch like this one (look at the cables at the daughterboard connector) :

my SCB-7 also has the patch, are all cards affected? I might do it on the SCB-55 as well, it's a simple mod...

You should not modify any daughterboard like that. Because host sound cards are inconsistent in their channel orientation too. So a rewired Roland daughterboard will sound reversed on some soundcards anyways. An adapter is a better solution: Midi daughterboard trouble (picture at the bottom)

From Australia
Turtle Beach - Rio (4 mb uncompressed rom + sipp for ram upgrade)

Bundled with CreativeLabs - SB32AWE CT3990

oh boy! god I want that DB, used to have one, still have the printed manuals and drivers.

They was in a whole heap of "not tested" old hardware. Shipping from Australia would have ruined me, but I persuaded seller to send only two boards for me, so it become inexpensive. And turned fully working.

You've got a point there my friend... but on the other hand my boxed SCB-7 has the rewiring from Roland themselves...
The SCB-55 is now installed on my 401AT , I don't plan on installing it on anything else tbh 😊
The adapter idea is great, only drawback is that one should use some higher stands for the daughterboard and most likely sacrifice a slot on the mobo due to the extra height 😎

I can't speak to the SCB-7, but the later SCB-55 boards with the "01" PCB designation (revision 1, in other words) have correct L/R output sans wire patching.

I see... thanks for that info. I think the SCB-55 in question is rev0 , here is a pic of it: http://www.thepoorgeek.com/misc/images/IMG_0262.JPG

from todays carboot sale, 2 boxed motherboards.
Pcchips M935dlu v2.0 (SIS 650GX) skt 478 board, seems to be brand new and unused, had to break seal on antistat bag, manual missing.

aopen Ak33 skt A board, also seems new and unused, with discs ,manual, someone has used the IDE lead but otherwise complete.

£3 for the pair, if anyone can use these shoot me a PM 😀

I was not even aware that there were different SCB-55 revisions. 😀

Picked up a Tyan Trinity 371 motherboard with both slot 1 and socket 370 as shown at this link

Took the plunge and ordered two 20" HP 1600 x 1200 4:3 LCD monitors (LP2065). $150 including shipping 😵

You live only once 🤣

I'm using dell ultrasharp 2007 (and 2001) monitors for old computer.
20", 1600x1200, 4:3, ips or pva display, it has composite and svideo inputs.

Nice monitors generally, but they'll drop frames in 70 Hz VGA modes (at least the ones with IPS panels).
