IBM PS/1 Audio Card is a great device to have (PS. I believe a bare version of this card was posted here a while back - congrats for that one lucky member!) . Now, if I remember correctly, only a few of the original PS/1 series (2011/2121) were equipped with ISA slots (Model 2121-B82 which I have …

Curious, what part we talking about? I've seen some computer parts marked as another posted mentioned for car parts. I think it is kind of tricky selling used computer items on eBay because damage done by the user is not usually visible. For insurance claims, it is also not visible damage. Due in …

So a word of caution, even if you list something as Not Accepting Returns, it's complete BS. Been like that for quite some time. I remember posting about this some time back. "As-is" means absolutely nothing. Items are always returnable. Who pays the cost of the return can depend a bit. Many …

Finally received my Roland SC-55K with a PSU. Bought it from Japan for a moderate price. IMHO K modification has all the necessary features and lacks all the unnecessary ones, like the screen and buttons, if gaming is concerned. And I could never get by watching YT videos how stunningly it sounds …
