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

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. 😅

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....

Can I join the cool kids' club?

I managed to snag myself a Voodoo 2 from my local recycler for a reasonable price. Sadly it was an isolated model, so no SLI goodness yet. Still, it's in pretty fantastic condition given the age. This also means I have the big 3 in PCI for. 4MB Voodoo 1 in the reference design, this 12MB V2, and a PCI Voodoo 3 3000. Woo. Now to figure out where to actually throw it, since I have either underpowered or overpowered hardware for it. A PMMX233 or 1.0/1.1GHz P3 Coppermine, etc...
