Got this 8GB SSD/DOM for my Pentium 133 laptop today: http://imgur.com/a/PHvYK

Some seconds ago:

A second: TYAN Trinity 100AT (S1590) super socket 7 motherboard.. ( just cant leave it there for only 18 euros!)

My first one is here:

Its listed on page 20 of this topic.

I have bought:

An second NEC T128 8bit SCSI controller.. (want to swap the RLL system to scsi system) On my Vtech Laser XT/3 TURBO 8086

16bit Future domain TMC-1670 SCSI controller (almost rare to find) ( i prefer these over the adaptec ones) (its lot quicker on boot)

Some 30 pins simms ( i always can use more)

A not heavily used bus mouse (for cheap)

DTC 5150X 8-bit RLL controller for cheap (iam going to restore it as new) ( i know it also needs a new rom)

Good finds. The bus mouse is the one that came with the old ATi cards (VGA Wonder 16 through Mach32). It's a very comfortable and high quality mouse for its time. I think it was made by a company called "Leagure". I foolishly had mine in unsealed storage, and a real mouse came and pissed in it causing the steel parts to rust.

Trantor T128 and Future Domain SCSI controllers are also nice. I've never used the 16-bit version, but I'm thinking they might be the way to go rather than AHA 1542 as you can avoid DMA issues when using chips like 486SLC/DLC.

Here's what I bought today:
]

A Microsoft Basic Keyboard v1.0A,PS/2 interface. I bought it to use on my KT266A system as my A4Tech USB keyboard wouldn't work on it.

It's a pretty solid keyboard,and also like it for being black. Needs a small washing though.

The nice part of the story is, that i want to use that bus mouse for my ATI Wonder+ XL graphics card that iam going to use in my XT machines.. So i dont have a seperate bus mouse controller card to use the bus mouse.
I also needs some spare bus mouses, if i still can find them.. The rust from the steel parts is easily removable with a stuff called `rustyco` http://www.rustyco.nl/

So you could wipe off that rust in no-time, only have to disamble the mouse.. And then it would work again.. So dont throw that bus mouse away!.

Thrashpicked today...

IBM ThinkPad 380ED, with P166MMX, Windows 98 SE, 80 mb...Functional. If you look carefully, there´s a battery on top of the keyboard, it's dead but after i removed it completely it booted.

...and with dock too... Couldn't find psu from the bin but I had external hd psu, tinybit undervoltage but keeps it running anyway.

I grabbed this one recently.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/111505496018?_trksid= … K%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

It was complete in open box. I didn't really need a Radeon 9200 SE, but as it was cheap and complete I decided to pick it up. It even still has the game and driver CD's. Free games that came packed with hardware usually get separated from the hardware over time so finding them complete can be difficult.

Aztech Sound Galaxy NX Pro OPL3 + Disney Sound Source + SB Pro [Price wasnt that high, so i bought it]

A gold recovery lot of 30 SD-RAM sticks [Going to test them out and see what work from them, need to clean some gold contacts i see]

30 Sticks of DDR1 memory (gold recovery lot) [Going to test them out and see what work from them, also need to clean the gold contacts]

4 Pieces of hard to find 72 pins FPM memory.. [Cheap price]

Not hardware but

A box of 5,25 inch floppy drive cleaners.

tokroger, I am extremely jealous - nice find! Would probably scrub up very nicely as well; a shame that it got chucked away due to something as simple as a CMOS battery error.

A role of black wire 10 metres long, so i can make my own PC / XT earth cables to mount on the PSU.. These cables seems the be very rare.. Luckly i found two in my laser XT 8086 computers.
So it was easy to look for the specs on the cable.. Only have to make connectors to it. The originals where black, so i bought black also..

More memory...

There is also a COAST MODULE STICK ON THE RIGHT WHYA!

My eyes where on those hard to find SIPPs (only 1 euro)

More 30 pin simms (only 1 euro)

Ohh...memory...memories 😀 I remember back in 1994 when I was upgrading my AST 486 memory... One 4 megs simm-stick was about 100 euros this days currency... POPD5V83 upgrade was over 300 euros...that doesn't sound that bad, it was quite big difference between Cyrix Cx486DX2/66 and POPD. HP cd-burner was also near 300 euros.. God damn! I was rich or stupid back then 😁

You need to make your pictures smaller. The forum automatically cuts them off along the right side to prevent side scrolling.

I can see the full pictures just fine on a 1080p screen, no cut off here.

But yes, Robin4: you could use to resize your pictures some for the forums. Normal forum courtesy is about 800x600 for attached pictures, then a link to bigger sizes if you wanted to.

yup, no problem here on 1080 here as well 😁

Most of us seem to be using 1024*768 for screenshots or pictures of hardware but larger images than that benefits from being linked or resized.

ups...didn't realize that, I use also 1080 and pics look ok. Going to resize them from now on 😀

You know, "1080p" doesn't directly say anything about your horizontal resolution. Cool to see you have one of those modern progressive-scan monitors though!

Sorry, this is some stupid pet peeve of mine.

Even on my pc with two 1920*1080 I can't see whole picture, since i'm use Tree style tab from left side of browser window (very useful for those, who open a lot of tabs) and browser window is not maximized.
But mostly I'm browse from mobile devices: notebook, tablet, smartphone, and not any of this device able to show such big pictures without cutting edge.
