The seller of the 3 A500s gave me this as add-on:
Hope everybody agrees this is not suitable for any restauration work anymore? 😵 I am going to dump it: Dirty, rusty and the right drive cage has been removed...
But: 486 with ET400 inside 😎
I’m sure somone would love to restore that.
My Sound Blaster Collection.

Is it possible to built a small batch of those? I am certainly interested in one for my 200SBi.
I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.
Unfortunately that would have to be done from scratch. The original author has deleted all project files with no back-up. It's very sad for me to say it, but there are no more than two of those in existance.
Fortex, the A3D & XG/OPL3 accelerator (Vortex 2 + YMF744 combo sound card)
AWE64 Legacy
Please have a look at my wishlist (hosted on Amibay)
Update: 200SBi lack the port, so if it's really what you own, you wouldn't be able to put any 2D module anyway.

My vintage laptop collection.
More vintage laptops.

Excuse me, but this topic is for recent acquisitions, not for posting your entire collection. Could you please make a separate topic instead of spamming this topic?
Okay, I just recently bought some of this stuff.
Garage sales, thrift stores, Craigslists and eBay.
Walked into a local electronics fleashop. The owner turned out to be an old pc dealer. I asked for a VLB video card and he came back with this. Of course I got it.
The components marked red were missing so I immediately found replacements and soldered them on, the card appears on the ISA bus which is a good sign. The caps marked yellow have an orange leak near the bottom so likely gone and will be replaced next including the quick and dirty out of place cap I installed.
One of the simm slots plastic retaining clips are broken so I may also replace that or both at some point.. Can AWE32s work with a single 32MB simm?
I also need to find a bracket for it I wonder what donors would be compatible..
Alao anyone can see more that is wrong with the card?

Love the LIAN LI Memorial 20th Anniversary case. Did you buy that new or used?

Computer looks to be okay.
Just a little rust on the case.
A drill with a wire wheel should clean up that rust.
Some primer and paint.

No, I got it used but it looks NEW.
Flawless.
It was unique, I never saw anything like this before.
I got it for real cheap so I bought it.
It's really BIG and TALL and heavy case.
I have NOT figured out what to do with it yet.
I think I am going to fill it with Sound cards and make it a Audio studio creation center.
Sound blaster Audigy 2zs, Terratec DMX fire-6, and Terratec EWS MT88.
Got a couple of AGP video cards
A Geforce FX5900XT (standard clocks)
A Geforce 6800GT
A bit dusty, but both work perfectly.

Hehe, maybe not a bad idea. But this thing is totally disgusting, smokers device and I dont want to have it in my apartment. Also opened the PSU and closed it at once again. I can not imagine to make a nice case out of it again...

Does it work as it is? You can test without RAM, but as far as I know you need 2 identicals SIMMs for RAM to be detected.
