I updated the link in my sig but here's a link to everything.

Thanks for this! Work is blocking it - hardware porn filter I guess 😁

I'll check it out tonight.

Life? Don't talk to me about life.

I saw a MS-6905 v2.3 on eBay last week. I put in a max bid for 50 quid. I think that's a lot to pay for this thing, but I've been wanting one for a future 1000EB build, so I was willing to spend a little on it...

eBay says it sold for £227.22. Can that be right? That seems completely insane. I think I saw a Slot-T go for half that last year.

There's probably a hoarder on Vogons that has 10 of them and doesn't even know he's rich 😁

Must be something special about that high version number (2.3) ??
And someone perhaps wanting a dual set-up etc ?
Really weird pricing/bidding, but all the other sold ones I see are only version 1.1, so who knows.

MS-6905 slotket V2.3 works fine, V2 only at 100MHz

Happened yes, right no.
I think its time to reproduce them... Somebody? 😁

Well.. How? You need the socket and I don't really think that's a readily available part anymore..

Oh, you are right...

What about a cheap broken Mainboard as donor, to create a 200€ adapter?
...That sounds reasonable 😁

All untested. But I just tested the P3B-F, and works after fiddling with the dipswitches. Just programmed the 1008.004 rom with my TL866II. All ok. 😀

Picked up these two little bit more obscure graphics cards:

Top one is 3Dlabs Oxygen VX1 and below Britek ViewTop Titan5000, a Savage 3D card with TV out. These obscure cards are not usually that sought after, because performance wise there are usually better alternatives even for period correct builds. But I find them somehow interesting and they at least throw an image on the screen too!

Got a NIB Gravis Xterminator Dual Control. I like the late Game Port joysticks.

I was thinking if you happen to bump into this thread and notice these cards! Seriously, these were extremely well packaged and shipped fast so it is thanks to you 🙂

Found and bought some Industrial computers for 20 euros each plus 10 euros shipping....

They are here...
Both x86 systems on a chip, one from ST http://www.datasheet.hk/view_download.php?id= … hebc_382588.pdf and one from AMD https://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Geode_LX/AMD-G … 800EEXJ2VD.html .
Even with some power supplies, that saves me some euros to not have to buy them.
The serial stuff it came with is quite useless for my application. rs232 to rs422 converters or something like that.
My guess is this was a Heating or cooling system, one pc was used for the the user interface and one pc held the control software.

I would rate this haul as : OK to Neat.
