Duel Pentium Pro build
Nice! Responded in your thread.
On another note:
Some people have PM'd me about the Great Pentium Pro Haul of 2018 Discord channel and asking to join. That ship has long since sailed and the Discord server has closed for good. It was fun and a lot of people got good deals, but it started feeling like a job rather than a hobby. I would also like to address a few items that have been hinted about my intentions with this haul. I had another thread...
Pentium Pro hardware lot inventory. Pics for kicks.
...where I wanted to share photos of all the items that were obtained, but of course some complained that I was trying to profit and advertise through Vogons. My intention of starting that thread was to share some photos and discuss the cool hardware that was saved, but stopped after the complaints started coming in and unfortunately a large portion of the hardware will not be shared through photos now. I am still very much in the red on this endeavor and Luckybob and a few others know damn well I went into this to save and preserve this new old stock hardware from the recycling center and/or greedy resellers. If I break even, I'll feel lucky.
I'll just say this, I put my money where my mouth is. I discussed this with Qbix, who made it very clear I gain no extra benefits from doing so, which are not my intentions, but as I said in this other thread...
Journey of a Unisys Aquanta HS/6, aka ALR Revolution 6x6
...I am donating 50% of all my new old stock ALR (Advanced Logic Research) dual Socket 8 Pentium Pro motherboard Ebay proceeds to DOSBox, which also supports this forum, after Ebay and PayPal fees. I'm giving back to the developers and the forum that makes this all fun to do in the first place. Those are my most prized motherboards out of the haul and will produce the most financial benefits towards donating to this very noteworthy cause. Cheers.
