Picked up another Roland LAPC-I and MCB-1 connector box.

Nice find!

I got a delivery with some CPUs, FPUs, EPROMs and more in untested conditions. The Cyrix fasmath is supposed to be quite good as i understand it.

also got this replica kit of an Apple 1. Perfect project for a rainy day.

It seems that the cooler have two different connectors.
One with 2 pins (connected to the card) and an alternative 3 pin one (not connected).
I don't know why they kept the two connectors out of the factory.
If the card is in its original condition, then the cooler itself is probably "off the shelf" and factory attached.

There are also some cards (from other series) that were factory equipped with Zalman coolers.

Although 2 fan connectors (2 and 3pin) also have an AC Silencer on the Toxic version of the X700 (but it's customised, with a Sapphire sticker and other plastic colours), I was wrong and my card in its original condition was equipped with the original alu cooler from the blue PCB versions. So the AC Silencer ATI 1 there had to be replaced by the previous owner and matching with the version that's at vgamuseum.info is just a coincidence. Mea culpa, case closed.

Some assorted junk from a recent haul. C$65 plus gas to fill the car with as much as I could carry.

Its a microwave! I love it!

And it also has a "Help" button.

Anyway, if you want to go nuts, you can take 4 of those G200 MMS Quads and use 16 screens at the same time 😀
And yes, that's officially supported, but I don't know if for all OS.

May be I'm wrong 'bout G200 and the card is 4xG400 but it have 8xVGA outputs.
I'd like to try it but my wife certainly kill me if I bring Hantarex video wall home 😀))

Can you take a photo of the Case on the back column with the front panel/door. Rahat May have been my first 486 tower case!!!

Today's shopping (in flea market) ... boldly gooo...

Some CPUs and RAM:

• Sempron 2500+
• Athlon XP 2000+
• Athlon XP 2500+
• Xeon 3,2GHz, of the Gallatin variety with 1MB L3 (x2)
• Corsair DDR2 6400 CL4 1GB (x2)

It's my first matched pair of DDR2, since it's a generation I skipped when it was new, and haven't invested much in this era yet.

Not so cheap but it's cheap for a GuS compatible card, especially with a RAM socket. And it's cheaper than a reproduction one. I was the only bidder:

The sempron seem's clobered (nicke'd) don't think it will boot. or run properly. sorry.

It does indeed have a chipped corner, but it still works fine.

There never seems much rhyme or reason with them, very faint barely visible corner chip off, dead, horrendous looking damage all along one or more edges, works fine, what the flip?

Could you please take a photo of the back and the inside, never seen Inwin G-500 except from the front.

My son has eagle eyed this Key chain among at lest 50 other key chains in the box and we bought it for 1 EUR. Didn't know that Transcend was making motherboard at the time, or at least label them with their name brand.

I just installed and tried out the new IBM MCA Snark Barker / Sound Blaster Clone (Rev. 2) from David's electronics.
Finally i got proper sound in my Model 80! Don't mind the knob, it was the smallest one i could find 🙂

Oh very nice !

I like all these promo objects. I have a few of them too.

• Three ATI Ruby action figures.
• AMD Opteron Keychain.
• AMD K6 and K6-2 label pins

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!

*laughs like a 13 y/o boy for like 5 minutes*

But seriously, let us know how that works. I got the ones from tex-elec, and i recently got ahold of a MPU-IMC and MT-32 for my model 80
