I bought this lot today (sellers pictures). Some interesting cards and some harddisks with maybe interesting Drivers/Software.

- 2 RAM Cards with daughterboards, one of them the DFI MF-3000:

- Commodore "Advanced Monochrome" Card 380053-01. Not much to find about it.

- ET4000 with DB9 EGA-out? Or ET3000?

- Headland 286

- Adaptec AHA-1542CP

Very cool lot!

I see:
Epox EP-7KXA motherboard, which is a Slot A Via KX133 board with an ISA slot... nice!
Gigabyte GA-586ATX2
MSI MS-6723 (very interesting board with tons of audio outputs)

... good stuff! I hope it all survives. It worries me when people ship boards and drives together. I always imagine the drives acting like the little metal ball in a spray paint can that mixes everything up when you shake it. Not good for circuit boards. 😅

Now for some blitting from the back buffer.

Thank you!

I ask the seller to wrap everything in paper and he agreed. Therefore hopefully nothing gets damaged during shipment.

Also thanks for the hint about the Slot A board...I am afraid I would have tested this with a P2 otherwise....
