Re Indy - Yeah, you're probably right. 5.25 might put a few off I guess.

Hopefully! I like 5.25 though. Actually my 5.25 inch floppies have been more reliable for me than the 3.5 when i image them.

- A fifth Voodoo2 card (one exact copy of any of the four different I already have, just for SLI)
- A super socket 7 ATX MB with AGP
- A black 1.2MB 5.25" floppy
- Asus V3000, V3400, V7700 (64MB),
- 1GB AGP Radeon HD 3850 or 4xxx
- Working Seagate ST-157A HDD (
- Hercules display card and green or amber TTL CRT
- Sound Blaster Pro 2.0
- Voodoo5 AGP
- Creative/ Panasonic Interface CD-ROM

Almost all of them has their own practical purposes (i.e. will be used in my builds) and some has just sentimental value.

I've got everything I really want, all that's left is embellishing it with odds and ends that catch my eye from time to time.

Right now I'm agonising over a kyro or kyro2 card I will likely never use, and wondering about adapters and such [sd floppy replacements, sata adapters that kind of thing].

always wanted a Gravis Ultrasound, but they are strangely rare and very expensive when they do show up.

Keep your eyes open. I bought a 3D Prophet 4500 on eBay for $15 a while ago.

It's not worth agonizing over, though. The Kyro II is interesting, but not really suitable as a daily driver.

I see people wanting lots of stuff that i'm selling/sold recently. Perhaps a bit more dialog could get people what they need...
Right now my wishlist has only one thing: clear everything and keep only a maximum of 2 retro rigs for use and a couple of spare parts. And i really mean a couple. I need my space back and time to enjoy my old games. 😀

It feels odd to type this - but I don't have anything currently on the serious Wish List. Maybe the Roland Flue shot I take every Fall has something to do with it? Yes I would love to have a Quantum 3D Obsidian 'brick' but realistically there is nothing in the collectible crosshairs.

At a practical level though I could stand to have a few backup parts that I lack:

- Voodoo 2/12mb in case one of the SLI cards goes down
- Asus P3B-F or reasonable equivalent slot 1 mobo
- Abit VA6 or reasonable equivalent slot 1 mobo
- Biostar P4M890-M7-TE backup mobo
- P200/233 era Socket 7 mobo
- a couple of quality 300 watt-ish ATX PSUs

There you go - not very glamorous. Finishing the last of 5 long-term retro PC projects last Spring really calmed the whole retro hardware side of things..

I have no MIDI modules. None. I don't even know where to begin, since the obvious choices cost too much and scare me off.

Otherwise I'm just missing a shedload of games. Always have several dozen tabs open in Chrome for games I'm looking for.

I must admit that 2014 was very lucky for me, I got a lot of interesting cards that one year ago I did not even dream about... Thanks to the POEPLE form this forum AND my friends all over the world who helped my find those cards with the help of my RetroGraphicsCards fanpage on facebook 😉

So here is what I think can be considered "rare" that I acquired in 2014:
- PowerVR Videologic Neon250 PCI (Germany)
- Nvidia NV1 [Diamond EDGE 3D] (Japan)
- Rendition Verite V1000E (Romania)
- SiS 300 (Spain)
- SiS Xabre 80 (Italy)
- Number Nine Revolution 3D (Russia)
- Number Nine Revolution IV (USA)
- Trident T64 (Croatia)
- XGI Volati V5 (Germany)
- ATI 3D Rage 1 (USA) - is this card that "rare" or collectors just do not care about it?

humm, from your lists the only similar cards I remember to have are a Jazz Adrenaline (?) Rush and a Diamond S220 Rendition 2100 I think, I don't think you'll be interested though.

Not a lot 😀

Matrox M3D or any other PowerVR PCX1 or PCX2 PCI add-on card

You magnificent son of a bitch! Can't wait for video captures/youtube video/thread with walls of text. 😀

- Adlib Gold 1000
- Media Vision PAS 16
and couple spare super socket 7 motherboards with 3+ ISA slots

These seem like they are a dime a dozen. The original 8-bit version though... that's tougher (and a lot more $$$!).

Really ? I haven't seen PAS 16 really cheap, at least on ePay .
