Is that an ATI 8-bit ISA card?

Yes, it's ATI EGA Wonder 800.

Great match for my XT turbo build, I guess 😀

What are the specs of the single board computers?

The upper one is OLIVETTI board. It has a socketed i486 sx16 and a corresponding Cyrix Fastmath 16 coprocessor.
The lower one is Fujitsu board. It has a socketed i486 dx33 and can accomodate DX2 as well.

I'm not sure what to do with those boards and I mainly bought them for the CPUs.

If you don't need them I could use the cards, I've been looking for a 486 SBC to use in my backplane I bought one off of eBay that will refuse to post with my sound card installed.

Only paid 10$ For it.

Are they rare? I still have mine from back in the day (Gigabyte 6BA).

I wouldn't use the term 'rare' but, from my own experience, I believe AT AGP boards were less common with Intel chipsets, but more common on MVP3 / Aladdin V motherboards.

EDIT: this arrived today. I recently acquired 3x 5.25" drives which, despite being 30+ years old, worked perfectly. Until I put in a disk that had mould spores on it and it made every other disk unreadable. So I ordered this:

It's in absolutely mint condition and came in the best packaging I have ever seen. I've got no idea how old it is but it's an absolutely joy to behold something in such good condition. I might actually end up not using it, as spraying a little WD40 onto a disk, rotating it so it spreads out, and formatting it, seems to have got the drives working again. ALWAYS check your 5.25" disks for dirt before using them.

EDIT2: Found this - says it's 1991.

Grabbed an "unknown sound card". It is some kind of Mediavision card with ID IXW-PAS16LL. What precisely is it, and where can I learn more? Looks like a PAS16 without any extra interfaces.

What is that large card on the top left?

Bought a Socket 7 system for next to nothing a couple weeks ago, had the time to part it out yesterday. Here are the stuff I found inside:

Nice to have this CPU in a ceramic package at last, not that I know if it has any benefits to me..

Time to hunt some 256Kx16 SIMMs to upgrade this to 2MB

I was considering buying one of the last few Audician32s left on eBay but now I am settled.

Just a regular Realtek NIC

I also bought this for my 486 build; gotta have something to play X-Wing/TIE-Fighter/Wing Commander with..

Turned out to be a bit more yellowed than I hoped and squeaks a bit.. anyone know how to deal with a squeaking joystick?

If you're referring to those big cards with SIMM memory on-board - in both cases these are single board computers.

Its a 440bx board, socket 370. is that not rare in AT form factor with agp and isa ? This is not a SSK7 board.
Ether way its a tomato board, the way I look at it, its a tomato board, 440bx and AT with AGP/pci/isa and that's not a everyday find.

I saw some on some auctioning sites and forums, and the ones I saw on eBay were ranging from $90-$120 for the AT style motherboards, and the ones I saw on another site are 20e-25e. I might upgrade my Socket 7 system to a Socket 370 with a Pentium III 1000 processor and get an AGP video card, like a Riva TNT2.

Why not have both? Those are very different systems with only a little crossover.

Not *quite* retro, but bought an HP Compaq 8510p laptop on eBay. T7700, 4GB, etc.

I wanted to show you a better picture of my new Laser Turbo II XT board that arrived yesterday:

And here along with ATI EGA Wonder 800 that I'm going to use along with it:

I'm thinking of putting it in some DIY furnished wooden case.

Looks great. Let us know how it goes. I have an ATI Ega Wonder as well and one thing I've noticed is that EGA games are quite slow on my Turbo XT. I guess I put up with the lack of performance back in the day because I didn't know any better, but a 286 is probably a better fit for most EGA games.

Anyway, looking forward to see the build!

My V3 that I got for $15 BIN mislabeled as a rage xl was mysteriously "lost" by the sellers mail carrier and never made it to the post office. I was refunded and I'm pissed about it. The seller lost nothing, they realized they sold something at a fair, non scalping value and committed fraud by not honoring the legally agreed upon price.

I'll be watching that seller and if that card shows up in another auction I'll be opening a scamming case with eBay.

At this rate, I'm never going to be able to get a V3 card for a reasonable price. Is one glide capable card without spending $50+ dollars too much to ask in this world?

It was only last month when there were a score of Dell Voodoo 3s on the market, have you tried doing a search for the Dell OEM part number?

🤣 No fraud has been commited. Or scam for that matter since you got your money back. Scams and Frauds tend to leave people out of money as well as time.

No one is legally obliged to sell you anything. And ebay can't do jack since they are simply a middle man. The only thing sellers not selling and buyers not buying does is waste users time and have a bad reflection on the 'middle man'. In this case ebay.

This isn't necesserily true, listing an item on eBay requires agreement to a policy and a winning bid on eBay is a contractual obligation, so not shipping the item, pretending it got lost and just offering to refund the payment simply because you did not like the going rate is indeed fraud and against eBay policy, the sales contract and probably legally an offense.
