picked up a 1040ST.

Monitor is monochrome... I need a color solution, debating getting an SC1224 color monitor or just settle for a composite breakout cable. Anyone know if there's a way to get these to output to a Commodore 1080/1084?

Wow! No yellowing at all. Did the previous owner leave it in a cave or retrobright it?

Found a site with useful info of the pinouts for different types of video: composite, VGA mono/color, VGA9 mono/color, SCART, switch mode cables for color or monochrome displays (both composite and VGA/VGA9).

Also, that machine looks wonderfully bright! Great find.

Ofcourse you can use a 1084 monitor (or any other 15K RGB monitor for that matter) with an ST, just connect the R/G/B/GND/H-sync/V-sync and it will display a picture. Pinouts etc vary between 1084 models so just google yours and play a game of "connect the dots"

This Abit BX133-Raid Motherboard arrived today. Came with a 700mhz PIII and 256mb of Ram. Despite those shitty bulging Jackon caps the board powered on. Tested with my 1400-S Tualatin and board posted fine. Just Looking at getting the right caps now to recap the thing!

This board direct support P3-S or with adapter?

Whoa I really like that design. It has that late 90's ATX feel but instead it's from the early 2000's with all the nice new features

Its using an adapter.

Just found small monitor Roland CS-10 NOS for 15GPB 😀

That Atari is mint! I pestered my friend in France for her PAL version but she can't find it. Too bad, I mean it's a 500 series but still.

I got this today from a friend, a 42 inch LG of some kind. It's not exactly "retro", but it's a decade old. Tested it with a NES and a 110CS, works well enough:

And another of latelest find. Yamaha TG300 - I really wanted that sound module and it appeard locally in a good price.

Gorgeous! Nice price too

I'm very curious about these.. i've collected a few roland modules (MT32, edirol sc88vl, sc88 pro) and now i'm looking into the yamaha units (have yet to find one).

How do they sound in comparison in games? I assume they're just general midi?

Nice and clean! I've seen the tandy version of this pop up here and there but would love to pick up the roland version to match all my roland gear.

It seems that they use the same power adapter for everything!

So, I bought an nVidia Geforce4Ti 4200 128MB AGP video card at a price that was worth the gamble, it came today.

I took the time to test it, unfortunately, it has screen artifacts, I've tried both VGA and DVI outputs and I tested the card in two different computers (which are my Dell Dimension 4600 and my Athlon 64 rig with an ASUS A8V motherboard).

I bought this card to use as a spare for my Windows 98 build just in case I ever saw the need for an nVidia GPU (for things like table fog and 8-bit paletted textures), but it turned out to have technical difficulties. Assuming the seller will let me keep it upon refund, I wonder which area is to blame, the RAM chips, the GPU chip, or the missing pin gap on the AGP connector.

It's a Gateway OEM btw. My X700 which was there entry level performance tower in 2002 had the same model.

About Yamaha module. Yamaha is in similarity to Roland really high quality with great sound. In some games witht "harder" music like Duke Nukem Yamaha's percussion and realistic guitars sounds great. You may listen to some comparisons here:

Top s478 boards arrived today.

Got a nice Toshiba Tecra 8000 lately. 😀

Got a 22" NEC MultiSync LCD monitor for a great price of $12.99 + tax. This is my third monitor purchased that has 1680x1050 resolution (I'll be using 3 monitors of different brands on my FX-6300 machine).

Finally found myself a Compaq 2MB QVision 1280/E EISA video card.

Picked up two motherboards with cards and a keyboard this afternoon:

MSI MS-6168v2 - another i440BX uATX + Voodoo3 onboard. This one has the exact same cap burst as the last one.
- P3-500 Katmai
- Matrox MGA100 OEM
- CIS WS-5614HSMG (Win)modem
- 2x 128MB "DIMM" noname memory. Riight...

Tyan S1846 Tsunami - i440BX, awful AMI WinBIOS, but the most ATAPI Removable Media options I have ever seen
- P2-350 Deschutes
- "EPC-C4DWV810" PCI sound card with Trident 4DWave-DX chip
- yet another Realtek RTL8139C 10/100 card - Skeletor has obviously had enough of these... 😉
- 64 and 128MB SIMMs, at least one of which is iffy

Digital R14958TWGR PS/2 keyboard. Decent enough rubber-dome thing, with QWERTZ-layout to emphasise the fact that anyone touching my computers really needs to learn to type blind 😜
