Nothing given, but yesterday I got my ATI Mach 64 VLB and 3COM ISA, and tomorrow I should get my VLB multi I/O to replace the broken one.

Unfortunately only the link to these 80486 EISA motherboards worked for me. But still they look impressive. I bought a complete IBM PS/2 9576i and an incomplete (without RAM) IBM PS/2 9556i - both MCA based.

They work, you have to click "vire the original listing"

It's Ebay's new stupid system that doesn't link directly out of Ebay.com

There was a couple of new 'old' SoundBlasters for sale in Poland today:

http://www.allegro.pl/item510915503_nowa_kart … typ_sb2770.html
http://www.allegro.pl/item510912544_nowa_kart … 0_oryginal.html
(1 zł is about 0.25 euro or 0.33 🤑
The guy, who won them, buys all rare ISA Sound Cards for insane prices... I didn't even try to win them, when I saw him bidding...

PS. Does anyone know what is this SB-0100 SoundBlaster?

You -do- have all the .HCI and .SCI files for these EISA boards and EISA cards, don't you? They will not work without them.

I see a couple of the boards have them.

Yep

You're refering to the .cfg and .ovl files, right?
never heard of any Eisa motherboard that needs any config files with the extensions you mention.
Without the right config files you're screwed.
I'ts worth a bit gambling though since eisa boards are of very high quality compared to the crap that went into the all the OEM systems that seem to dominate the market back then...the word "quality control" wasn't invented back then 😜

They're nice, but 200 euro for them, even boxed, is a lot.

got a vfx-1 & linkbox coming in the mail. Time for some VR system shock!

Whoa.

As mentioned above, the VFX-1 is the best headset available when it comes to immersion,

If the game features a 3D stereoscopic mode, you will see the game in 3D like Descent and System Shock. The second category includes the flight simulators with titles such as Flight Unlimited, TFX 2000 and Inferno.

Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....
