Quadro4 980XGL, essentially the best of the GeForce 4 line if you count it with them. Same specs to a Ti 4800, but, with double the ROPs (8 vs 4).
I'm pretty sure they have the same specs.

Hmm, seems there is conflicting info on that, TechPowerUp and a few other sites claim 8 ROPs, but now re-checking it seems to indeed have 4 ROPs. Oh well.
Today I bought this winner joypad 707 in a newly discovered shop. Kudos to my wife for finding this place 😀 Joypad is bundled with Nascar Racing game and the original receipt from 1995.

A very nice one, indeed! Surely better looking than mine. But yeah, they are getting rare - and pricey ..
If it's dual it's kind of cool ... 😎

Nice find! Worth it for the box alone.

Got my backup Toshiba T5200 laptop today.
I already had one that I souped up with a 486, CF 4gb drive, sound card, etc.
But I was afraid to mess with it in case I broke it. Now I have a backup. 😀
The CMOS battery is dead, of course, but once I got through that it fired right up. 2mb ram, 100mb HD. Has an old ethernet card with rj45 and aux ports.
Later I'll pull the HD and the CMOS battery for safety's sake.
So the other day I was looking to get an SC-55 or a second MT-32 (I love my MT-32...)
And I came across a little thing called a Roland "PMA-5".
Did some research... it's like an SC-55 only newer. Also smaller and portable.
The MT-32 and SC-55 were hovering between $150 and $250 on ebay. plus shipping.
There were some PMA-5s around $100...
saw one for $60... and won the auction.
Been playing with it today. It works like my MT-32 only it's GM/GS compatible.
It works off of ac adapter or 6 AA batteries.

You can thank the gold scrappers for their rarity.
Your Pentium 100 looks pristine, but the lettering is off center. Still, it's a beauty. I'd put it under glass for display. My P90's Intel logo is perfectly centered, but the ink was wrecked by various heatsinks.
Not bought but rediscovered while packing things up for visiters. A Genuis 256 grey scale hand scanner complete with software and manuls.

There's a glitch in the matrix.

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s.
Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉

One of Papyrus' excellent racing sims, be sure to play it, by preference with a racing wheel and pedals instead of the game pad.

True that gold scrapping has cost a lot of the gold cap CPUs, however, P75 and P90 gold caps are not nearly as rare as P100 - I had to search some time to get mine - at a lot higher price than what I paid for the 75 and 90 ..

How similar does it sound compared to SC-55 and especially MT-32? I've been under the impression the MT-32 compatibility on SC-55 isn't fantastic and one really should have both.

Is it possible to replace the LCD with a color one? Or does the video chip run in B/W by default?

That's a plasma display! No one would ever commit the sacrilege to replace that screen, even if it would be possible. You buy these *because* of the plasma display.

It's quite beaten up, but I'm still jealous. Had to sell mine during dry spell and regret it ever since. Considering re-buying one, but they seem to have gotten quite expensive. Or maybe I am just unlucky?

Yes, a P100 with gold heat-spreader is a very rare CPU.
I guess many of these early gold caps were scrapped back in the 90s when Intel was replacing them due to FDIV bug.
My chip doesn't have the FDIV. It must be one of the last gold caps made before switching to ceramic cases.
Bought this lot a few days ago for 10 EUR. Nothing tested though. Are there any highlights? I belive that Hercules 3D Prophet 4500 AGP graphics card (missing fan) is probably a keeper (If it works)...
I spot a Matrox Mystique 2MB and an All-In-Wonder Pro but that's about it. The card on the top left in the first photo looks kind of interesting too, it's likely a GF2 or GF3 of some sort.

That Adaptec ISA SCSI/floppy controller is a keeper my friend.
