No problem. Shipping prices are stupid.

Where are you located ? (sorry if that was already asked) Am interested in the HD's but live in USA. If you are in Europe am sure the shipping would be extreme...

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

Quadro FX 4000 SDI PCI-E in pristine condition.

That's gone? I was pondering some uses for it's special skills.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

Q SDI is a sweet sweet contraption, but not retro enough for me. Sticking with the agp version of it. 😀

I can share the HD's. Really want the Cav 2850, one 6.5gb and maybe one of the bigger IDE drives. The rest of can do same and ship out (to USA only) if 3dfx and/or max want the rest...
I see 340mb, 850mb, 2x 6Gb, 40Gb, 80Gb, 200Gb and 250Gb if I read my drives right.... just a thought.

I was thinking of using the WD 2340, the fujitsu, and the WD 250. Message me when you get them and we can work out how to handle it. Yeah, maybe max could still get some if he wants.

I'm most interested in drives smaller than 1 GB, and could probably afford the shipping for just the 850MB if you're happy to ship that separately. Got a DOS build coming up that could use that.

See my graphics card database at www.gpuzoo.com
Constantly being worked on. Feel free to message me with any corrections or details of cards you would like me to research and add.

Ok, i will be open to partition the bulk, but will leave it to Horun. Technically they are his at this point.

Do tell.

Just capturing vid camera output really. Though I might have tested it on HD output from a TV box. Though I am still not clear whether pshipkov was saying everything from the lots was gone or everything above that post was gone, and the Quadro is still available to claim.

Two more items today.

SATA HDD.

386 motherboard.
It is in pristine condition, but the 16-bit part of the ISA bus is not functional.
Been sitting in the "to-fix" pile, but i am realizing that i will not get to it.
So, if somebody wants to give it a try ...

I've got an old Abit KR7A-RAID motherboard to give away, as well as an Athlon Thunderbird 1 GHz CPU (currently in the board) and an Athlon XP 2000+. The motherboard refuses to POST for me, and it's probably due to the fact that it accidentally spent 4 years in uncontrolled temperatures when it was accidentally put in the garage instead of an closet inside the house. The Thunderbird was stored indoors for its entire life, and the Athlon XP was in the board while it's outside.

These parts are free for anyone who wants to take on the challenge of getting them to work, or use it as a source of parts for repairing another KT266A board. Shipping will be from Canadian postal code R2M 0H5 in a box that's 33 x 26 x 7 cm and 1.4 kg (13 x 10 x 3 inches, 3.1 lbs). Let me know if you're interested in it, I'd love to send it to a good home instead of e-waste!

Where are you shipping from?
Another question then; What would the postage be to Denmark? Probably too high, but sometimes surprises happens 😀
