It's a GA-BX2000+ I believe, one of the latest produced.

Bought a couple pair of CyberStuff Cyber3DVisor 3D1000 shutter glasses. One new and one used.

The control box supports 2 sets of glasses.

Even has support in DOS 😲

I didn't even know these existed back then.

Edit: from the look of the hookup, I wonder if you could just daisychain control boxes together to make it work for more than 2 sets of glasses.

I know I had made a new year resolution to stop buying Slot 1 crap but it was for next to nothing so I got this bundle.

You know how many times I've told my self I am going to stop with this whole retro hardware thing? Enough now just to laugh at myself. At least the addiction is productive although some might find that subjective.

I don't understand why the tech world is just now getting excited about machine learning, I've been doing that for years.

I wonder if these would work with Terra Nova Strike Force Centauri? It was one of the few DOS games that supported VR headsets.

I'm guessing it will.

From what I could find, it work with a huge number of games. It looks like there is a different software you can use to make it work with pretty much whatever instead of the smaller number of originally supported games.

The control box is a full hardware solution so as long as you have the image on the screen doing the 3D thing, these glasses should work with it.

On another note, I put in an offer for a 3rd set and it was accepted. Now I can test to see if you can get more than 2 sets running at once by daisy-chaining the control boxes. I don't see what it wouldn't work as from what I can tell, the control box just syncs the glasses to sync signal coming from the vga signal.

^^ neat, I've got a couple different shutter glasses setups including a homebrew serial port one. If those work with Don Sawdai's LCDBIOS there's a ton of stuff you can play on them. Descent 1 & 2 in 3D are fantastic.

Amazing keyboards. The Model Ms are built like tanks. I have the 1987 version of the Model M (IBM branded across the board) that works like a charm after cleaning the contacts with contact cleaner in the Shift key and one of the arrow keys and I use the keyboard between my Packard Bell and Socket 7 machines via a KVM switch box (4-PC).

Can't even imagine finding that anywhere for a price I could afford.

Now for some blitting from the back buffer.

For a short moment I own 4! of these... (imagine the octa-sli mercury-like-monster... yeah... I know it's not possible) hehe... one is sold already.

I treat is as an upgrade to boxed version...

Glad you like it.

Bought a "broken" Gravis Ultrasound PnP Pro recently for $60 and just got around to testing it.

It works perfectly.

I had to disable the LPT port to get it to work as the Ultrasound seems to require both IRQ 5 and 7. Maybe that's why the seller couldn't get it to work. Oh well, no complaints here.

I also bought a broken Ultrasound Classic from a different seller which I think is actually broken. Might try replacing the GF1 chip if I ever find a replacement.

They're bloody fantastic. I kinda wish I found a 1391401 but the price was pretty good (under $60 shipped) and it is complete, excellent working condition.

A CBM64 game and some kind of ZX-81 clone? If so, what's the interface sticking out the back with the two female DB9 connectors?

Ah, that explains the two female DB9 connectors. Still, whoever did that keyboard was at the least obviously highly inspired by the worst one Sinclair ever used:
