Hi all,

this will be my first post on this forum, though I have thought about registering a long time ago.. Also, I must say I adore the forums references to the awesome tales from Douglas Adams. I have read all five of the four books of the trilogy, expept the sixth one. 😉

I am quite interested in vintage computing, and I have a shelf stuffed with old goodies like an IBM 5155, a couple of 486's and a bunch of P54 pentiums. In addition, there are some machines that doesn't work correctly or I haven't got the skill or urge to try and get them running. Then I thought of go on eBay and sell some parts and become filthy rich from scavenging other peoples trash. But that didn't quite sound right. So, if there are anyone here on this forum that might be looking for parts, I was hoping a fair trade could be more interesting.

What I have on the get-rid-of-list is an IBM Model 70, this is a 386 desktop with MCA cards and some special connections for HDD / FDD. It has this "486-now!" upgrade module, looks like a little PCB with a 486DX-33 and some cache that fits into the 386 socket on the mobo. There is an ethernet MCA card, and an upgrade MCA card with lots of 72-pin RAM. I also have a socket 7 AT mobo with a P133 too many. And, at last, an AT mobo with Super socket 7 that holds a K62-400. None of these things are tested, I think the mobo of the IBM has som corrosion that halts it from booting.

Are there anyone that might find some use for these things?
If possible, I would very much like to trade in for something for my 486. Like a 5 to 3.3v adapter for DX4 processors, or some special VRAM modules (standing upright) to upgrade the screen resolution...

I can add pictures of the items if there is any response.

Cheers! 😀
