Got a less common variant of 486DX2-66 with write-back L1 cache (right). On the picture next to my ordinary DX2-66 (left)
Aztech card arrived today...in an envelope. But seem to have survived the shipment. Missing slot bracket seem to be identical to the 1350B, on the picture the one from my last "scrap"-lot 😀
Also convinced the seller of a 10kg lot to ship me that card (sellers photo) 😀 Will report what I get...
Somebody abel to identify that daughterboard? Seems to be unusual that the components are on the outer side?
EDIT: FOUND! Roland SCB-55! 😀 😀 😀
Damn, just got outbid on an Alaris Leopard. Fortunately some post came to soothe my sorrows:
First up, big stuff. A keyboard I just had to get once I saw it. It isn't just huge, it's ludicrously big. I would have compared it to my IBM Model F 122 'Battleship' (it's bigger 😮) but that's at work so here it is next to a tiny Model M instead.
Can't test it yet as it needs its own power supply for all those LEDs and the character display.
Also received a smaller keyboard.
Yes, it may look like a gamepad, but look at that DIN pass through - this is actually a keyboard. Finding software for it is going to be fun though...

And last but not least this box.
Inside a NOS AT desktop. Plastic-y as hell and no rear feet by design, but hell, a brand-new AT case is always a cause for rejoicing 😀
that case is PIMP!
I love it!
That keyboard is amazing as well!
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

Got any model or part number for that case? I've been trying to find the exact same (finding AT cases is tough but desktop ones [not tower cases] is even harder) for a future system that I'll build.

GOSH that is a great case!
Beautiful case, nice to see one 'new' with the box. Might give a clue to the manufacturer.
I have two similar cases, a desktop (not exactly the same I think but I can't find it at the moment) and a compact tower (thanks dionb). There are many variations out there. There a a few in this topic also: PC tower cases by year

...so I was not the only one here after all 😁
I got two 🤣
They're all gone I'm afraid? Where were they advertised?
1982 to 2001
luckily for me they just were on ebay, I posted about them here like 2-3 weeks ago, and the seller even relisted more after I posted about it but those too were gone pretty quickly.

The box has two identifiers on it, O-MD-W and O-MD-B, with circles next to them so the relevant one can be ticked. No tick.
Inside absolutely nothing on the outside of the case apart from "Made in Taiwan".
And then there's this:
Wtf? Whatever this case is, it is *not* a Packard Bell...

Interesting. I didn't get mine from ebay, but from Marktplaats, the NL 'Craigslist'. Was your seller Dutch?

Wow that's a nice lot of finds you've had recently 😀
If you've got a 3d printer, check out this thread - I made a bracket for my SB pro, it should also fit your CT1350B clone: No Bracket for SB Pro 2 CT1600
those made in AMERICA stickers are gnarly

pretty intresting cases, looks like 4U AT server case with a fancy front. The snap for the drive bay doors looks like somthing that will break after 3 weeks though thats what kills it for me.

Wow they're EXACTLY alike.
Life? Don't talk to me about life.
That's because they're the exact same photos. Haha.

hmm well the seller was selling them as new and had a bunch so, probably no co-incedence either 😀
