This hobby seems to be a gift that keeps on giving. Got donated another bunch of old parts by a friend who was digging through his old stuff. Here's what he found.
Disclaimer: all parts as of now are untested and will reach me later this week, so fingers crossed.
Conner CFS270A 270Mb, 3400RPM ATA HDD
It's a Mitsumi 3.5 FDD, and I have a very good experience with these and even have a few of them laying around. Always nice to have spares.
Realtek RTVGA V21 004 ISA VGA 16bit ISA card. I think this one was some ultra-budget option from early 90s, 512kb memory. It looks cute but I would expect the performance to be horrible, but I don't have any other ISA VGA card at the moment and for certain builds this is better than nothing.
140133-001 is a Compaq part number for 128MB PC133 133MHz non-ECC unbuffered CL3 168-Pin SDRAM DIMM modules. I have a few SDRAM DIMMs laying around, but it's always nice to have more.
This one should be self-explanatory. PC100 SDRAM, non-ECC, unbuffered, I don't know about the CL values.
I'm using 3x Micron 128MB PC100 CL2 ECC SDRAM modules on my 440LX PII system, and those have been extremely reliable and fast. So these would be more of a project or backup option.
And these are 500MHz Katmai Pentium IIIs. SL37D and SL35E, to be exact. I'm not sure what their difference is, except one is the OEM version and the other is the boxed version. But I think these will fit my planned TNT2 M64 builds well enough.
I have no experience with the Realtek VGA card and 500MHz Katmai PIII, so I'd be happy to hear what you have to say about those.
