They happened to be chucking out some stuff at uni which I just happened to be prepared for with bringing antistatic plastic with me, not really sure what to do with this stuff though but who collects hardware with a definite purpose anyway. Unfortunately I don't have pictures.
First item is an ISA Disk Controller which predates IDE I think when HDDs used edge connectors. Its an WD1003V-SR2 I think

Next I have 2 8Bit ISA EGA cards, I didn't notice they weren't VGA when I grabbed them.
It appears to be a VIDEO-7 VEGA, although that picture isn't quite the same but mostly similar

The second EGA card doesn't seem to have any identification, its like the previous EGA card except it doesn't have as many switches and it is ISA length but doesn't have any contacts in the second segment only in the first segment.
I also have 2 ISA Video cards with both VGA and EGA ports
Cant really find much identificaation but I belive they are this,
one is a Revision C card and the other one doesn't have a revision on it.

I also got 10 sticks of unknown sizes of EDO from what I think were old thin clients, I didn't take one since it had some propriety power connector and to pull just the board out I needed pliers or a spanner which I didn't have.
Lastly I got 2 baby AT socket 7 motherboards which have
4 ISA Slots, 3 PCI slots, 4 EDOSlots, 1 SDRAM Slot, Keyboard DIM, PS/2 (mouse I presume).
1 board is revision 1.2 and one is 1.8, the main difference to me is that one has a battery holder although its a horrible one with a leaver (they kindof scare me since I broke one once (on a board that didn't matter though)) the older revision doesn't have a battery holder
I believe it is from this picture a PCChips M525

One board had an upgrade cache module the other didn't.
oh and also got a 100Mbps PCI NIC but thats not as interesting.
Unfortunately I don't have any spare socket 7 cpus to test the boards with and I don't feel like pulling one out of another system at the moment, getting another cpu is more fun anyway
