And I got another Nintendo Wii. Was free and only the main unit it self. Just finished testing it, and as a bonus it had an SD card in the slot and the unit is soft modded. Nice. I have now, one non modded and one soft modded.

some random stuff in various states from good to rusty and scuffed up.

Pinnacle capture card, unfortunately no breakout cables 😒
Yamaha V6363 MDA/CGA card
and woo a realtek ^^

WD90C31
generic Tseng ET4000AX
and a quite scuffed up Hercules VLB Dynamite, might need some repair on the backside 😒

CT2890 and CT2770 both with OPL
and a Terratec DMX XFire 1024

also got some not quite so retro RAM for my "this will probably not work anyways" industrial mobo ISA build, still looking for a CPU though.

Hercules Dynamite, Had one back in the day, paid by mail order of all interesting fact, will work on 50MHz VLB very well in generic SiS 461 VLB AMD 486DX 40 overclocked to 50 machine. Made perfect doom/doom II machine.

If you are done with the WD90C31 video card, I'm interested.

Cheers,

Non industrial Slot 1 ISA boards below the 100$ (Canadian) mark can still be found . Were you specifically looking for an industrial board with ISA for the faster CPU support (or some other reason) ? Or would any ISA board fast enough for even the most demanding DOS stuff be acceptable ?

I already got the board here: Re: Bought these (retro) hardware today
hence why it's already stuck in it ^^
I'm trying to build a triple-boot setup with DOS, Win98 and XP from three different drives, CF, IDE and sata
the chipset is not officially supported in win98 so that is going to be the hardest to set up, and the ISA probably won't work for sound cards either... still going to try ^^

@pentiumspeed: sorry no trading allowed :p (good excuse to say no x3)

No problem.

Trying to get WD90C30 or 31 ISA for old DOS stuff and decent speed, compatible. S3 ISA or CL is pretty hard to get and tend to be expensive.

I have boards from compaq, 386/25e (32K cache via cache controller) also Deskpro M either 386DX 33 with cache, or 486DX2 66. Trying to figure out the power supply's pinout of Deskpro M motherboard.

Already figured out on 386/25e power supply pinout, ordered female connectors with pigtail to make an adapter.

Cheers,

oh you were serious? x3
sorry but it slots in nicely between my WD90C30 and WD90C33 I need it for benchmarks and stuff ^^

...well there's plenty of them on ebay anyways

Sure that 90C31 is faster than 90C30? Despite that, same PCB between C30 and C31just bios and chipset are the different.

Cheers,

Got a LASER kvm for $nz35 plus postage. For use with more modern hardware that only use usb mice/keyboards. Can be use as just a vga switcher if I want as well. Comes with all four leads. Still need two kvm leads for my PS/2-vga kvm.

I managed to pick up last couple of weeks' orders today. Some of them are in fairly miserable but repairable condition (Rush has bent legs and pcb damage, AWE64 has corrosion, 486SX has bent pins, and the S3 has a mangled bracket and a missing nut - as a sidenote, please help me out with this question: What ARE these nuts that connect brackets and D-SUB connectors called? I need to order a couple dozen of these..)

The OTI was a free throw in, and I paid 1 buck for the S3 which I would have otherwise passed on.

In this data sheet they are called D-Sub female screw lock

Nice, particularly if it's the original model with full GameCube backwards compatibility?

A soft modded Wii is extremely useful & convenient. I have my Wii booting straight into USB Loader GX when you power on, for instant access to all my GameCube & Wii games from HDD. I don't really play any Homebrew or Emulators on mine, but it's a very capable machine.

nice :3
I also got my first Rush recently, still waiting for it to arrive... the "nuts" are just standoffs/spacers of a specific length and thread size.
from what I gathered it's unfortunately one of those weird imperial thread sizes, should be #4-40 unc?
they are easy to find that way though, or just look for "VGA spacer" or "VGA standoff" or just "VGA screw" ^^

some more cards from the same lots:
CL-GD5446V / CL-GD5446
SiS 315 with 128MB?, unfortunately the intersposer is scuffed on one side 🙁 I hope it still works.
... needs a heatsink from what I've seen, so probably got forcefully removed?
dirty Trident 9680

Audigy with "Live Drive"

Audigy2 ZS

and another Peak 405 SBC

edit: almost forgot these ^^

Virge/DX
Expertcolor "S3 Trio Virge" not a confusing name at all x3, looks like one cap got knocked over.
and a nice ELSA Riva 128ZX

It is one of the old original white models. So I am happy. I got it through my job at the recycling center. Testing computers and console stuff is my area. We have a rule, that anything that have bootchip or softmodded will not be sold.

Now that's the right guy for the job to ensure that retro gear will be salvaged! 😁

Well.... It is mostly post 2005 stuff that comes in. Some times there are Playstation 1 and 2's. Mostly it is the white Wii's. We get like 3 to 5 a week.

Hedeka 286 motherboard+cpu, I/O, floppy drives and graphics:

Great haul! I got a similar board in a haul last year but mine is missing the memory chips. It's nice to see your picture so I can compare it for missing parts.

I'm working on this board now. Did you ever find out the type? Mine seems to work just fine, but DIP and SIPP is inconvenient. I would like to know a little bit more about it.

BIOS ID string is S286-6181-101590-KF. Have not found it in TH99 (yet?).

Didn't purchase, but found some old hardware I had as a kid...

ooo that Virge/GX is nice :3

Why does it have a heatsink though? I've never seen an S3 chip older than Savage with a heatsink.
