I would accept the lot. I just want to make certain that the one thing I'm most interested in is working. I think that's a fair ask, since pshipkov mentioned that it might be broken.

It is morning here.
Somebody claimed the whole lot as-is during my night already.

The only thing that's left is the Kayak case.
I doubt it will be claimed, so the path to the trash bin is already widening for it.
: )

Sorry Kahenraz,
There will be few more dumps in the coming days.
Too much junk around here.
I think there is another GF2 PCI like the one you are interested in.

I have 4 matching 4MB 70nS 64pin Parity SIMMS (all main chips MT 4c4001jdj-7, parities are diff) for specific AST. They worked decades ago but no longer have the board and just stumbled onto them, no way to test them.
Cannot even remember what AST system they came from (think it was a AST Bravo 4/25 or 4/33). Note these are special 64 pin simms (same size as 30pin) as in the picture.
You can have them free plus postage if you can prove you have an AST Bravo or other system that uses them (I know that sounds critical but they are not cheap on ebay).......

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

As far as I know they can be used in the 40 MHz Apple Macintosh IIfx, as they originally uses 80 ns (minimum speed) 64-pin SIMMs that are not compatible with other Macintosh' - including other Macintosh II models (sadly my three vintage Macs all use the 30-pin model), I read that Parity memory also is supported in the IIfx. Sadly I don't have such.

Alternatively there are some Amiga extras that might could use them; The GVP A530 Turbo is one of them - I don't think if my friend still have one laying around for me - or if it was even that model...

So many computers, so little time...

These need to go as a bulk for shipping price.
All components work.

One of my favorite Slot 1 motherboards. In pristine condition.
A month ago it fell silent. I am pretty sure it is something minor, but don't have the time to deal with it.
Figured that somebody can fix and enjoy it instead of me keeping it around as a hoarder, pretending that one day will work on it.

EDIT: there is a backplane and CPU holders as well.

I hope whomever picked up the dual Slot 1 shares their repair adventure. My bet is on a bad VRM, if they're lucky. Also check the voltage rails for low-hanging fruit.

The board starts for a moment and shuts down immediately. Can be a capacitor somewhere ...
The problem is that the solder pads and the solder material are high temperature ones, so it takes quite a bit of effort to work with them.
I know this from a similar board here.

Working hard drives must go as a bulk.

Another bulk to go.

Took the header from the first LAN card.
Otherwise the card is fully working.
Plop a new header and off you go.

How much to ship to the UK? I'm interested in them.

Constantly being worked on. Feel free to message me with any corrections or details of cards you would like me to research and add.

ISA modem, must be part of the above bulk.

Ideally somebody grabs the entire thing.

No idea really.
But i would expect something like $100 or something, given the prices these days.

I'll have to pass if it's that high, thanks

Well, cards are gone.
So, HDDs only from now on.

No problem. Shipping prices are stupid.
