First of all hello to you dear reader.
Ill be brief : i just found and old i286 which i dont have the heart to put to the recycling center. Does this is valuable for someone? If one of you is interested i will be more than happy to send this to you (in Europe) . You Silly tech hoarder ! 😃
Can't wait to know if someone looking for this kind of stuff.

Regards

If you are giving it away for free, that is ok. If you want to sell it, that is not ok in this forum. If I lived in Europe would gladly take it from you 😁

Hello bearking of course its a giveaway i think its better to continue in private message to sort things out. Last Time i checked it it was working but that was merely 20y ago it has the main board : video card a printer card and what i would call the main daughter (sound or power didnt check enough) psu 5"floppy 3" floppy and the st225 HDD ( unknown capacity must be around 20 mb you know better than me 😀 ) i will add all media i get from this Era sure some Can be archived for sure. Due to weight purpose i dis not incluse the ega screen or the printer . However if reaaaaaaaaaaaly interested i Can take pics 😃. Still had kb and mouse if i look more deeply

That's a sweet lot, all it needs is a case and it will make a nice 286 system !

It sure is a nice board ! Octek G2 286. Same as this one by Predator99 but has the SIMM sockets !

just make sure you don't give it to someone who will just resell it but someone who will actually use it ^^

I do wonder if this forum has been infiltrated by those human scum waiting for a freebee to appear. Make sure you check someone's history before giving something away!

Yeah and there are some non-newbies here who do have online stores where they sell stuff, do know of 3. One is very fair, one is so-so and the other charges rediculous prices for such items. Just sayin....
I really could use that mobo as a build project as only have one working 286 board but cannot find jumper and switch settings for it so cannot add a mathco or change the ram. Too bad am out of area or would have been the first contact and yes would really use the parts except maybe the HD which would gets passed on free to someone else here who needs XT era parts.

I saw the thread straight away and I am a silly tech hoarder in europe, but I already have a few 286 boards to play with, so rather let someone else have the fun ^^

Good for you ! Though maybe you should have pm'd OP asap as at least it would be put to some use, if even in your museum 🤣. You could share anything you didn't want to other. I saw it about 5 mins after it was posted but figured a Mod or L33t would answer it quickly, after an hour figured maybe I should respond.
edit: bad grammar

Nice way of accusing other people only because you weren't the one who contacted him first. Or do you have any proofs that bearking if one of those persons you are refering to?

ps: this thread should be closed, as people apparently can't handle free giveaways.
