thanks, I was watching an external philips top loader from 1991 but that ended up more expensive than what I paid for the whole lot of 11 drives including the caddies, there are some from 1995 in there though, I'd love to have the mitsumi single speed top loader drive, but that's also too pricey.

Here are a few from my collection.

This thing arrived. Case has integrated stereo speakers and amp. MSI VLB + PCI motherboard, 486DX6-66, Cirrus Logic PCI card and CT1600. I paid around 100 USD so not really good price but not bad either...

Considering the fact that you got also a SB CT1600 in the price, it isn't a bad deal.

more dual CPU goodies 😀

i always loved the slot 1 stock coolers. they really emphasize the whole slot/cartridge feel. i won't use aftermarket slot 1 coolers for this very reason.

First post on the forum 😀

Picked up this excellent condition Sound Blaster AWE32 CT3980 for just 10 euros. Couldn't leave it at that price, even when I already had CT3600 and CT4520 🤣. And just after I had bought this, I found AWE64 Gold CT4390 at 15 euros, so couldn't leave that either. It is still in mail, maybe coming on monday. Ebay prices for these are just insane, so it really makes me happy to find them at such low prices.

That is one long card. Barely fits in the case. I even had to remove the floppy drive to make room for it.

Those are awesome prices. For the AWE32 cards with OPL3, I paid $75 minimum for each card.

Now send it tooooo me. 😜

I regret selling my Lynx when I was younger. I had the first gen Lynx and also the second one you're still lucky enough to own.

Blue lightning is awesome, way better than Afterburner IMO, and I had a blast with Klax. It's an excellent port of the Arcade's gameplay. I figured out an x-pattern in Klax that would eliminate almost every tile at once. I can't recall how to create the exact pattern( was basically an X ), nor the points it rewarded, but it was enough that in just 4 or 5 levels, I always got 1st place on every arcade machine I played; and this was over those that had put in hundreds of levels.

There was a Lynx about 3 hours away from me, which I would have bought if I hadn't found a Sega Master System with 32 games in the same area.

Anyways, I so want one with the screen mod! 😀

Bought this lot a few days ago for 10 EUR. Nothing tested though. Are there any highlights? I belive that Hercules 3D Prophet 4500 AGP graphics card (missing fan) is probably a keeper (If it works)...

Card with the fancy passive heatpipe cooler looks interesting.

The slim PCI NICs, could they be Intel 82558 based, they run like a dream in things that don't seem to get on well with the Realtek 8139

It would have fit, if the BIOS had played nicely. For some reason, it stopped on boot with error code 1800 (resource conflict) if the ISA network card was installed, no matter what I did. Windows said there are no conficts. Had to get rid of ISA-LAN and replace it with PCI card. With PCI graphics, the top slot is the only place I could fit the sound card.

For those wondering, this machine has two shared ISA/PCI-slots at the bottom, and one ISA-only slot at the top.

sweet, unfortunately the local classifieds here seem to have caught up to ebay prices already... the only time I could find cards for reasonable prices so far is when buying old hardware in bulk ^^ ...twelve years ago I got an AWE64 Gold for 10€ off ebay, that was before I was really collecting, just got it cause I liked it and it reminded me of old times (I never actually had an AWE64 gold, just the regular AWE64)
and more recently I got a CT1350 by chance buying a box of "scrap", and a CT1600 from a different scrap box, unfortunately in that one all the cards had their brackets stripped.
