I call that "more often than you might think."
As mentioned, that list only represents the ones that I've noticed. That is, through inconsistent, manual searching, and only between eBay US and UK besides. It's hardly a complete list of what's been available in that timeframe, whether available on eBay, or otherwise.

CM-32L, aww yeah.
Got this IDE to dual SATA adapter!
Works very well and this is likely the way I'm going to proceed with my retro time-machines.
One of the Voodoo 2’s in my SLI setup died recently, so this is it’s a replacement. New in box and works well, although the SLI cable that came with this didn’t work for some reason. The home-made cable I bought on eBay does though and is different to this one (different wires crossed in the middle). Strange.
Probably a manufacturing mistake. I have here a set of USB ports that probably came with a friend's mobo and won't fit any internal USBs because the pinless spot is in the wrong place for both of them.
Full software compatibility with Voodoo Graphics
Yeah, right...
I didn't even know PowerColor went back that far. The first I ever heard of 'em was with the Radeon 9000-series...
Now that's unusual. That Voodoo2 has chips on it with both the old and new 3dfx logos on them.

oh, cool. I didn't notice that. resell the card on ebay! sell it for 10X what you paid for it!
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

If that seller wasn't in Australia and his shipping price was lower I'd probably have bought a pair of those 🤣.
Crimson Tide - EVGA 1000P2; ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS; 2x E5-2697 v3 14C 3.8 GHz on all cores (All core hack); 64GB Samsung DDR4-2133 ECC

Bought a cheap BFG 6200 pci 256mb for $17 after ship and come home today to find an Fedex package. Thinking that it was my wifi card or 2.5 to 3.5 drive bay adapters instead was a 500gb ide 😮 maybe someone made a mistake as I didn't order it!

Does it exceed the BIOS's HDD capacity? If so I'd also buy it. A socket 7 motherboard with terabytes hdd!

No, technically it can't do that 🙁
I did run into an issue creating a 60GB partition on a 640GB drive. For extreme cases like this I recommend investing in a PCI SATA controller. They have full LBA support and no issues with larger drives.
I use a Silicon Image PCI controller in my main SS7 system. I will do a little Video review soon, just waiting for another brand to arrive from eBay so I can talk about the two main brands (Silicon Image and Promise).
