Roland MPU-IMC (Microchannel, Boxed). I have this (bare) but boxed ones show up rarely so I felt it was worth picking up imho.
*gasp*
speaking of microchannel stuff, I picked up this PS/2 56slc with 486slc2 processor upgrade :3c
... the power supply is borkd though, I hope the rest is ok, no cards unfortunately ^^
also my second 8" floppy arrived... it was supposed to be a pristine Mitsubishi M2896-63-02M double sided double density 8" drive including an adapter.
...but shipping was not kind to it :'(
I don't know if the metal bracket hurt or prevented even more damage, the metal bracket got bent and the front panel broke in several places and got stuck underneath, also the pristine cardboard protector got pretty roughed up
in hindsight it was wise that I asked the seller to unplug the adapter from the drive as to reduce the risk of it breaking the connector/PCB at the back by sticking out during shipping.
the front should be fixable, one of the posts holding it to the drive at the back shattered and idk if I found all the pieces... but seeing as it got bumped very hard probably idk if everything is still going to be in alignment, at least it did have the cardboard protector.

Motherboard obtained. Along with a Geforce 2 MX400 64MB AGP card. Attached pics show board and bad cap. The motherboard looks brand new except for that one bad cap.
If I can replace that capacitor and get the board working I'll likely replace my K6-2 machine with this and a Pentium 3 600.
that should be an easy fix, it might actually still work with that cap anyways, though I'd be safe and replace it before trying ^^
