Got a YMF724 with SB Link header, guess it's pretty normal stuff here.
(...)

A-Trend card which I had back in the 90s and I still have it although my younger stupid me threw away the original box ;/

It's one of the best YMF724 cards.

OK so I have a question.. I got an offer on a YMF754 PCI sound card. I never even knew a YMF754 existed - what is this chip and is it worth getting? Already have two cards with YMF744..

Differences are minor and regard simultaneous use of SPDIF and ZV Port and no resampling to 48kHz when recording through SPDIF In... More here Yamaha YMF7x4 Guide

I got a box of diskettes (some DD, mostly HD) with DOS 5 on 5.25s and a few ZIP100 diskettes, and they all worked 😁

Bought this card few days ago, 8.5 Euro incl. shipping

Ebay in a nutshell:

Also:
- MSI D-Bracket with broken LEDs
- non-functional Pentium MMX 200MHz

Ebay is fun!
Time to get some refunds...

Thanks, card is functional but I don't know what to think about this chip. Looks like a strange mix of bugged hardware with shitty drivers 😀

I didn't buy this, however I noticed 500mhz K6-2's on Newegg for $25 which I thought was worth a post here.

Bought a vintage Sony Vaio P4 laptop today. It was only $22 and is in pristine condition. All I had to do was listen to some old timer rattle his gums about the good old days. Claimed to have worked for Magnavox back in the day, specifically, the stylistic design of the case on the Odyssey. He also claimed nobody knows the real history of pong and that, upon seeing a couple of guys playing with a broken oscilloscope in the lab one day, he suggested that they make a game out of it. His version of the history of Pong implied that Nintendo owns the rights to Pong, which I am like 99.9% is not true. But since these old P4 Vaio laptops usually go for around $200 in this sort of condition, I was willing to listen to whatever BS he was spinning.

Yeah, that's definitely way too expensive...

They seem to go for $10 on ebay. Maybe the 50% price increase is worth it for someone that desires a new OEM CPU for their retro build?

Won an IBM ThinkPad 770e bundle on eBay.

Seller's photo:

Has a lot of CDs, a boot diskette, external FDD, manuals, and charger with the cords.

Also got a Psyclone PSE1969 Guitar Hero PS2 wireless receiver on eBay since the one for my controller went missing years ago.

Used the PayPal credit (applied for that last night and got approved).

Welcome to 2021. You must be new here.

Bought a scrap lot specifically to acquire an unknown ESS wavetable daughterboard that originally came with a motherboard in the same lot. Behold, the extremely horrid potato pics from the seller... cropped to only show the items in question on course.
Damaged MB - I should have a working copy of the motherboard although I have no plans to use it:

That photo creates high expectations...

This Fujistu-Siemens 440BX goodie, looks good but it's not posting. Don't know if the CPU (PII-500) is working, but it should...

Seems there is a problem with memory... I used a double sided 128mb stick from HP.

I would suggest using Samsung/IBM or single-sided sticks. Those are usually a guarantee to work on 440BX mobos. Avoid the cheaper single-sided sticks that only have a total of 4 memory chips on them - those will NOT work in anything that doesn't natively work with PC133 chips.
