all those CRTs :0 I catched the SVGA Mono 9" monitor and some older 15" Shamrock SVGA. Obviously I have no idea if they work. I leaved some 17" Belinea and 17" Samsung 795DF there - I have another one of those in much nicer condition, but also I have personal grudge against those monitors because …

Guys, today for like an hour I thought I died of COVID-19 and gone to heaven. I changed job recently, and I'm working in a reasearch institute now. I've been cooperating with them since 2007 and knew they had some interesting stuff hidden around but recently they started renovating and getting rid …

This stuff Great haul! I've restored a PC30-III not that long ago and the HDD wouldn't spin up (WD93028-A). I gave it a good shake and that seems to have done the trick :laughing: Both the PC10C and PC30-III HDD spins up, just does scratching noises... like all of them I had before... well, I will …

You're probably referring to this thread: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=46720 The conclusion here was that the onboard CPU on the cache controller can't keep up if the drive is too modern, and works as a bottleneck. I'd say only use it for fluff if you have an older drive in your …

I'm IMPRESSED! Yesterday I written Longshine Technologie GmbH, the company that manufactured the card about 25 years ago and asked them to send me the manual and the drivers. Today in the morning they sent me the scan of the manual and the link to the most recent drivers! Such a great support! I …

I've owned 2 of these cases - the first pic in the OP is mine and the one below. I actually combined the one below and the one above because the metalwork was bent during shipping. Thank you so much for sending me original logo for this case!!! I think I will make a YT video featuring this build :D
Re: What brand / computer company used this logo?

After a long time I not only found the case of my first machine, but also thanks to a fellow VOGONer - badmojo, I received the original logo/sticker - all the way from Australia! 😀 VOGONS is the best community ever!

This IBM 3270 PC (aka IBM 5271). Condition is not perfect, but it's pretty much complete - missing a PC speaker, some screws and ribbon cables... although it will make a good repair/restoration video for a youtube channel I'm thinking about...
Re: Could this be the best Retro PCIE Graphics Card

No such thing as retro PCI-E. So you wouldn't consider Geforce FX cards as retro? General misconception is that "Retro" means old, when, well it's quite the opposite in fact. I think only retro graphic cards were those discussed in one thread here on VOGONS (ISA, OAK chipset based). PS: And PCI-E …

This 130XE (in box, ideal condition). Photos from a lady who picked it up for me (I should have it on Friday). I already had 65XE but 'old' model without EIC which may come in handy. I also paid ~65 USD which is a very good price even in Poland.

What is better than one AMD K5 PR200? hmm... two of them in a Tyan dual socket 7 mobo? :) No CPU was harmed - and I know, 2 x K5 is not going to work on a dual socket 7 mobo. But could not resist the temptation to put it all together for the photo, looks cool! I love it! I just bought the same …
