I wouldn’t mind the first one but shipping costs would probably make it impractical, so good luck to everyone else 😀 The last dells are almost as new as my current main PC!

Last bump for these computers before I part most of them out and stick the cases and boards out to the curb.

Check the previous page as well as some of them are there.

I would like this please, if shipping is affordable. I would be preparing it a gift for a friend who wants a media player PC

Just checked with USPS, UPS and Fedex. Cheapest was USPS at almost $100 US.

So most definitely not worth it to pay for shipping for one of these overseas. This little thing is heavy at 14.5 pounds and shipping weight would be around 16 pounds.

For shipping in the continental United States, my guess would be that most of them would be $25 - $35 to ship through Fedex or UPS.

You're right, that would be too much for me to pay. Thanks for checking.

Ok, so the desktops are off the table. Sticking all but the Lenovo out by the road. Already pulled what I wanted from them.

Next up is hopefully some more interesting stuff that people will actually want.

Not limiting to only one per person. Again, you pay shipping.

First, some Apple cards.
Apple IIE 80COL/64K Memory Expansion with no memory chips:

The attachment APPLE2E_80col-64K_Memory_Expansion.jpg is no longer available

Power Macintosh 6100/60 NUBUS Adapter Card - this has a couple damaged traces on the back and a few legs of the big chip are bent as well as a few that have been disconnected from the board:
If somebody wants it, I should be able to repair it fairly quickly but I have no way to test it.

The attachment Power_Macintosh_6100-60_NUBUS_ADAPTER_CARD.jpg is no longer available

--------------------------------
Compaq 003560-001 256KB cache module. I know somebody on here mentioned that these are terribly hard to find. I have no way to test it so if you have a system that can use it, have at it:
I will double check to make sure I don't have a board that this works in before sending it out.

-------------------------------
Epson Equity I+ AGN-MT ISA board

------------------------------
Unknown board - It has a female 9-pin connector. Is this an MCA card? Anybody know what it is?

Almost forgot... 3x Compaq 286 motherboards. Only 1 has BIOS chips but 2 of them do have CPUs - both 12Mhz. One intel and one AMD.
One has a bit of RAM.

Probably want to ship these all to the same person so they can at least get 1 going... maybe all of them.

The power supply for these is proprietary, but the boards have the voltages listed on the connectors so I think it should be possible to wire up a regular AT power supply:

Wow, what is that? ISA or PCI?

Ya know what, it never even occurred to me that the other side could be ISA... Hmmm

Edit: Found it. It is a Wireless LAN adapter for MCA and ISA. The transmitter / receiver is supposed to plug into the 9-pin port on the back of the card

Potentially interested in the Compaq cache module. I have a cache less ProLinea 5100e that could use it in case it’s compatible. I’ll check what it accepts and report back.

Might be interested in the motherboards. I'm mostly interested in the CLCC board (the third one). Are you willing to use Parcel Monkey for shipping if it's cheaper than USPS (I think it is for that weight)?

Seems like that cache module is for a Prosignia VS 486 PC, which I don't have unfortunately. However if no one else wants it and the alternative is to throw it away then I'll take it on the very remote chance I obtain a Compaq Prosignia VS some day.

Ok. So for all 3 shipped via Parcel Monkey, it looks like it would be $43.47 US - shipping weight for all 3 is 7 pounds.

For only one of them, it would probably be around $30-35. I would need to weigh a single boxed up.

Ok, I'll wait to see if anybody else wants it that has a machine that it will fit.

I wouldn't be throwing it away if nobody wants it. Not like that piece takes up much space.
