Sim Copter is a great game, once you get past the bizarre early 3D graphics. I played that game for hours. Fun fact, you can import your Sim City 2000 cities into it.

Today I'm gonna party like it's 1992! Thanks to a great friend I was able to buy a long wanted treasure. It will stand perfect and very nice next to especially my MSX FS-A1 ST and Acorn 3010 which are also from the early 90's 😀
The Commodore Amiga 1200!
The 1200 came in it's original box and with some nice goodies too:
- Mouse
- MIDI interface
- All the cables and powerbrick
- Blizzard 1220/4 accelerator and ram expansion board
Oh my g.... Someone just snipered a gorgeous open box 939 socket FX-57 for only 50$!!! Missed it by seconds.. (T.T) I know it was one of us!! Fess up! Lol
That was me.
I could have gotten it about $5 cheaper as the seller sent me a discounted offer right as I was paying the original asking price.

There have been a few crazy deals on eBay lately.
Besides that one, I snagged a Pentium D 965 for $10 + shipping. Already had one that came installed on a motherboard but hit the Buy button as soon as I looked at the pic to make sure it was a 965.
Got a Kawaii branded MIDI sequencer software that came with what appears to be an Intelligent mode MPU-401 card for about $50
Also snagged another Cyrix 5x86-120 CPU on a Shuttle Hot-433 (with missing KB controller) for
$72 + shipping.

Awesome! Yea, there has been some really good deals lately, I did score a Sealed Retail box FX-53, for 45$

Did that come from ebay? Someone had one listed for a stupidly high price a couple days ago. Really hope you didn't pay that.
Awesome though, I had my eye out for a 154 model for a while, ended up just going AM2 with an LE-1660 (same speed, less cache).
These cpu's have got to be equal to, if not, the rarest AMD CPU from that time period along with its brother the Opteron 190. I wouldn't be surprised if someone bought it. They are practically unobtainable. I didn't buy that listing, but I spent a considerable amount of time/research and money to obtain this. 😀.
I recently purchased an Abit AV8 K8T800 Pro (3rd Eye) from ebay to pair it with this cpu, Hopefully it will come in undamaged (crosses fingers) 😁 Then I'll put it up against my K8N Neo2 Platinum with the FX-60! Zoom Zoom.

Does the driver CD for a Yamaha YMF-724 PCI soundcard count? I bought it for $2 🤣
Is it generic or brand-specific? I've got an Addonics Sound Vision SV550 Rev. F featuring YMF724F-V scavenged from a P3 build from e-waste. I managed to dig out DOS.EXE using Wayback Machine but couldn't download other files.

Found this motherboard (Soyo SY-7VBA133U) while browsing thrift stores today. It came with a 1.4 GHz Celeron processor.
It will need a recap as most of the caps are bulging / leaking. Not sure if it works but for 10 bucks I figure it was worth a shot.
Nice, yah, that was probably worth the shot. Good luck with the caps behind the parallel port, looks easy to get jammed up in there, particularly if replacements are 0.5mm fatter. I can't recall right this second which site the extra pins on newer ATX connectors are, but while you are messing around with solder, might wanna see if you can lean that inductor over a bit for clearance.
Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

Blue socket means its fully Tualatin compatible so its worth saving, normal P3 boards are a dime a dozen but the shiny blue socket Tualatin ones are not quite as common.

Well, it does have a 1.4Ghz Celeron in it, so that would be the first indicator of Tualatin compatibility. 😀
And yes, Apollo Pro 133T and Tualatin-compatible Intel chipset boards have been pretty uncommon for a while. I remember being pretty stoked when I came into possession of some (in various states of disrepair) about 6-7 years ago. They have only gotten less common since then and I rarely find any in the lots I pick up. Though really, what is really rare and sought after are Tualatin compatible boards with ISA slots. The fact that this Soyo has two honestly makes it a bit of a unicorn. TRW has only 3 boards on record with Tualatin support and 2 ISA slots (including this Soyo), and only two industrial boards have 3 slots. So yeah, this is absolutely worth fixing.
So the seller cancelled the sale and refunded me. Probably realized he could've sold the 939 dual vsta for more. I imagine it will reappear soon at a higher price. Ripperonies

The two ISA slots did catch my eye, but I didn't realize Tualatin with multiple ISA slots were that uncommon.
Now I'm definitely glad I grabbed it when I saw it. 😀
