100Mbit on ISA was NOT very common! Nice find!

Were there ever any gigabit ethernet ISA cards? I have yet to see one.

No, there weren't, ISA didn't have enough bandwidth to fully push 100Mb!
Even then, from what I've heard in the past, most of those 100Mb ISA NICs floor the CPU when in use.

Have these on the way:

Diamond Voodoo 1
Visiontek Geforce 4 Ti 4200
Visiontek Geforce 3 Ti 200
BFG Technologies GeForce FX5900XT OC

Also have a BFG GTX 260 Maxcore OC on the way.

LoL! I deleted that one from my watch list only this morning. I thought the shipping was too high.

Yeah he kept relisting and slowly inching the shipping down. I ended up winning for the minimum bid. Ebay bucks paid for most of it, I just paid $5 basically on it all. He does seem like a nice guy, said he was including a free mystery vga card in the box too. Its already shipped and on its way, via priority mail. Should be here middle of the week.

Picked up some gems over the last few weeks. I will get some pix together VERY soon!

I'm really digging the quality of the loopback cable on that 3Dfx card. Nice and heavy. I reckon a lot of the image quality issues with Voodoo 1 cards comes from using rubbish loopback cables.

True. If your monitor has two inputs just use that 😀

I've kind of been wondering about the quality of this cable. Hard to go wrong for the price, I guess.

Yeah I was thinking that. Awhile back I had removed the Banshee from my K6-3 system, and stuck in a S3 Trio64 so I can finally play that pc port of X-Men COTA. Since then I had been waiting to stick a Voodoo 1 or 2 in there,just waiting till I came across something at a good price. All the cheap Voodoo 2 cards on Amazon were grabbed.

Got this bad boy today. Unicomp Classic 104, PS/2 connector, black chassis, and custom dark blue WASD keys. I've never had a mechanical keyboard before and am loving it so far; only downside is that since it's so big, I cant rotate it 30ish degrees during gaming like I would with my old Saitek Eclipse II (which this is replacing). As a result my wrist is a bit tired during gaming; not a huge deal though as I'm going to redo my room soon anyways and move to a big wide table.

very nice i myself have an IBM model M with a PS/2 plug and they kick rubber-dome ass! Sadly i can't use it with my main computer (a laptop so that means no PS/2 ports 😒 ) so i use it for one of my retro rigs.
If i were to buy a mechanical keyboard it would be the Unicomp classic 104 with USB or PS/2 depending on if i can use a passive adapter OR the Filco Majestouch-2 Pro with blue or brown switches .

Yay, my Tandy arrived!

The outside is a bit dusty and grimy, but the inside is just immaculate! Like it's been in a box for 25 years!

After a little cleaning that thing will look tip top. Good grab there. As for me, that one batch of cards arrived today, and the guy included a free bee trident pci card that has svideo and composite out. Installed the Voodoo 1 in my SS7 system, been trying it out, so far so good. The Voodoo 1 looked new and totally unused. Such a treasure. 😀

Well, I recently aquired another TUSL2-C, a GF4 card and about 8 10gig or 20gig harddrives for about €30.
And from a neighbour I got an old IBM P75 computer which I am currently unable to open to see what soundcard is inside

Picked up a G400 16MB for about £5 and a G400 MAX 32MB for £9 😁

Good job. I love it when someone gets a bargain. Anyone can get things if they are willing to overpay but finding deals makes the acquisition feel a little bit better, somehow.

Absolutely. I don't see the point paying over the odds for something because someone thinks that because its old it's worth a bomb.

A few years ago I picked up a brand new (sealed) Guillemot MaxiGamer 2 8MB Voodoo 2 SLI pack for less than £10! 😮
