It's a Z120, which apparently is 8088 or 8085. The next model up from Z100

@sliderider:
If it actually is a Z-120 according to the page I linked to it should have both an 8085 and an 8088. (I suppose this works somewhat similar to the Commodore C128.)
It should be able to run special versions of DOS and cleanly written DOS programs. It is not compatible to an IBM PC/XT. I suppose that makes it rather useless for DOS games.

@King_Corduroy:
I don't know if I would call it a "next model up", it seems to be just an all-in-one variant.

Scored another great deal today. Soyo SY-6BA+IV and a Pentium III 450 for 20 Euro. This is one of the last great 440BX boards with a Highpoint Ultra ATA-66 controller and a great BIOS. Soyo was not a very well known company outside of Europe AFAIK, so a lot of you might not know of them. I used to have a SY-6BA+III, which was a great board, but it died on me one day, so I'm very happy to own this now 😀.

Sorry for the shitty picture, but the terrible lightning + smartphone camera combo was all I had available atm 😵 .

Retro:
V5 5500 AGP + EPOX 8K5A (KT333) ... let the games begin

New:
and one Dell 330 W power brick for my laptop

@rodarkone
Nice! To top it off all you need is a fast Athlon XP (Barton core)
What year and week was your card produced?

I got:
NEC Multispin 4Xi
NEC Multispin 4x4
Toshiba XM-3401B
Nakamichi MJ5.16
a complete boxed Upgradeware Slot-T adapter

I hope everything still works 😀

I believe this thread needs more pics. 😀

Mate I already have Athlon XP-M 3000+ that I keep @2200 (13x166) - unfortunately there is not as performer as my P4 platform 😀

How much less performance than the P4?

The problem with that system is the voodoo5. Sadly.. the V5's just were abysmally poor in performance in anything other than GLIDE 🙁

Look at the specs - that Voodoo 5 is in the P4 system. 😀

I finally found the package and manuals for my SBP2 that I got back in -93.

AXP 1800+ (Palomino), Pentium D 820, AXP-M 2400+ (Barton).

Oh man - where do you find this wonderful things in CZ 😀 I lived there for ~ 3 years and except a few bits and bobs at the Prague - Kolbenova flea market - I did not find anything 😀

Quite a surprise, I got a Pentium III of an unknown spec (the seller wasnt sure) the PC came in an older beige case I wanted to use for my P133 machine, and I figured I would scavenge any parts, I didnt expect much given the price I paid.

underneath the rather ordinary (and somewhat mucky) case, was a dual Pentium III motherboard with 2x 1Ghz Coppermines (133Mhz FSB) along with 1GB of SDRAM, no graphics card , and the hard drive was a dying Maxtor hard drive (judging from the sound it makes), but thats rather unimportant.

The nice thing is that this board is a GA-6VTXD , a VIA Apollo 133T board that can support dual 1.4Ghz Tualatins, how common that is Im not sure, but its cool nonetheless

did a bit of cleaning on the case , still some sticker residue near where the badge used to be, but most of the marks are gone, including stickers which showed XP was on this machine at one point, insides of the case were cleaned after I took the pics. The PIII sticker on the front has gone to the PC60 case.

board being tested with a TNT2 M64 card I use as a test card, PSU is a Q-tec branded 300W model, odd blue CPU sockets, I assume it has something to do with the tualatin compatibility.

I suspect this board will be going out of this case and used in the PC60 case as my 2001 machine ,where it will get upgraded to the 1.4Ghz Tualatins ( the PIII-S model) and the SCSI hard drive I use on that machine. This case will be used as planned with the older PC which suits it more, I went ahead and installed a front and rear fan on the case too

Also got an Aureal Vortex 2 card , which seems to be an SQ2500 (people with more knowledge can maybe ID the card better than me)

most likely also going into that 2001 machine, though since it already has an SB Audigy in it, I may decide to run it only in Win98 (it has a Win98SE/2K dual boot) while keeping the Audigy for Win2k and later games which have better EAX2 support.

Well now... At a whopping £6.69 (And a very average shipping price for items from the USA) I couldn't resist;

I wonder what might happen if I install this in my OverDrive machine, not sure it is fast enough for this card, but there's only one way to find out. I am torn between making a cable or buying one, connectors are more expensive than they used to be and I probably wouldn't save that much, but I'll worry about that later.

Not sure which RealMagic this is exactly, I am guessing some variant of Maxima or Ultima, but I have a whole stack of drivers I can try, one of them will probably work. This would take the stress off the video card search a little as I can now ease off the video acceleration features (having gone overboard with them) and just look for fast DOS cards which isn't too difficult as this machine has PCI... In fact, I may even leave the over-sized ViewPoint II (Cirrus 5446 2MB) card in there now as it's close enough for now. I can always upgrade it to something stupid later if I change my mind.

Sorry guys, i've not taken any pics of my latest haul for my 486 DOS gaming build but here's the pics that the sellers had.

Gigabyte GA-486VS Revision 6 motherboard, with Cirrus Logic 5428 VLB 1mb graphics card, and VLB I/O HDD, Floppy, etc controller card, came with a AMD 486DX-40 and a heatsink/fan and 8mb system RAM [upgraded to 16mb], 128kb cache [upgraded to 256kb] I've replaced the 486DX-40 [upgraded to Intel 486DX4-100].

FIC PIO-3 motherboard, with 1 ISA graphics card, and 1 ISA soundcard, 8mb system RAM, 256kb cache, Intel 486DX4-100 and heatsink/fan.

S3 Trio64 VLB 1mb, S3 805 VLB 1mb, and VLB I/O HDD, Floppy, etc controller card, manual for the S3 805.

NOS Sony 8x CD-ROM Kit brand new.

Bought these two for $6 total:
Matrox Millenium 4Mb

Matrox G450 16Mb

I don't need the latter, I already have the same model featuring 32Mb of RAM, but could not resist for the right price!

Interesting, I wonder why Matrox chose to put such beefy, long VGA connectors on the G450? Never seen anything quite like that!

Got a couple of boxed video cards today, nice Hercules Kyro and also a Matrox G100 in a Savage 4 box! 🤣

the Savage box.....

And what was inside.....someone clearly upgraded from the matrox to the savage and put the old card back in the box.

both were dirt cheap so it's all good 😀
