and two of these nice FIC 32bit memory expansion cards, unfortunately without any chips ^^ but then again, probably wouldn't have got them as cheap otherwise.

Ordered today a Slot 1 AT motherboard, and a Slot1-SKT370 adapter with Celeron CPU.
Also included is a slot for PS2 and IR USB ports.
The motherboard has SiS chipset, 1 AGP 2X slot, 3 PCI slots and 2 ISA slots.
Integrated audio (crystal chip) should be present, and possibly an AMR modem connection.
I don't think it's a PCChips, but maybe it's PCPartner ?, I have to do a search to identify it exactly, and to look for the manual, if anyone knows what MB is they could kindly tell me make and model (or possibly where to find the manual).
It should ship in a couple of days, and arrive within a week.
The MB is sold as being tested, but I hope it will be functional.

The seller has lost the Celeron and the Slot1 adapter visible in the photos.
In its place it will send me a Pentium II, I don't know the frequency but I hope it is a model with FSB at 66MHz, of these I only have a 300MHz.
The only problem I have is that I can't understand what MB is (make and model), I wanted to identify it to find the manual (PDF) to set the jumpers.
There is a silkscreened number on the MB it should be 981112, the second digit is unclear, so it could be 961112 (or 951112).
Still from the screen printing and the BIOS is visible 1998, it should be the year of production.

AMD 286-16 287-10 4MB HD 45MB VGA 256KB
AMD 386DX-40 Intel 387 8MB HD 81MB VGA 256KB
Cyrix 486DLC-40 IIT387-40 8MB VGA 512KB
AMD 5X86-133 16MB VGA VLB CL5428 2MB and many others
AMD K62+ 550 SOYO 5EMA+ and many others
AST Pentium Pro 200 MHz L2 256KB

seems to be a "PINE Technology SB1-A" board with SIS5600 chipset, I only found a single reference to it on some russian site: https://01.img.avito.st/image/1/GB6337axtPeBa … 9thZT18tPMLfr71
but that seems to be it.

too bad these don't fit ^^
I have no idea what this board actually came out of, it's quite corroded and I basically just got it for the full banks of 1M chips
(also love the sticker x3 "WARRENTY VOLD IF REMOVED")

and another SIMCHECK II so I don't have to swap the SD-RAM adapter on the other one all the time (can't do normal SIMMS if the DIMM adapter is plugged in which is kinda weird)
in it's original case :3

Got some new parts for my MVP3 machine:

F3B9hgr.jpg
2x128MB PC133, IBM branded (I thought IBM only made ECC stuff?)

pcmlvHK.jpg
Maxtor SATA/150 card, a rebranded Promise SATA 150TX2plus. Card is in new condition apart from one scratch which goes across a trace, but a continuity test revealed that it was still functional.

1unBtAr.jpg
What I'm most excited for, a K6-2+ 550ACZ. IHS is a bit scratched.

Currently waiting on a 16GB SATA drive to use with the SATA card.

Presario 5284: K6-2+ 550 ACZ @ 600 2v, 256MB PC133, GeForce4 MX 440SE 64MB, MVP3, Maxtor SATA/150 PCI card, 16GB Sandisk U100 SATA SSD
2007 Desktop: Athlon 64 X2 6000+, Asus M2v-MX SE, Foxconn 7950GT 512mb, 4GB DDR2 800, Audigy 2 ZS, WinME/XP

You may have paid too much for the Sony CD-ROM drive because these are plagued with cheap capacitor that leak.
They will leak all over the PCB and destroy it. I have several and that is what happened to them.
Thats why there are so few of these Sony 2x drives around.I had one back in 1990’s.
It was my first CDROM drive in my 486 computer. They just aren’t worth it anyways because they are too slow and seek allot
When playing a multimedia game or program.

that's exactly why I didn't want to pay these prices for worn out old ones, so I looked out for one in working order so I can still save it ^^

Interesting found today, Matrox 757-00 REV:B (POWER VR PCX2) for just 2.5 euro 😀
Hope it works, never had video card like this before. Plan to put it in P 233MMX PC in pair with MGA-2064W (Matrox IS-STORM).

Only these two:

For the P60 machine:

For the Athlon machine:
4SjucZRCGiT6tjJNIpvYrg7f.png

I have some cleaning to do on this Leadtek. It's a Ti 4800SE, so basically a 4400 with overrated AGP 8x.
A big plus is that it doesn't get as warm like the older NV25 siblings.
Maybe I'll install two small Noctua fans in/on it, don't know yet. That depends if it the 3D performance will be better on my 1GHz Athlon classic, wich has a GF3 Ti200 at the moment.

i386 16 ⇒ i486 DX4 100 ⇒ Pentium MMX 200 ⇒ Athlon Orion 700 | TB 1000 ⇒ AthlonXP 1700+ ⇒ Opteron 165 ⇒ Dual Opteron 856

Sweet card, I have one myself in the box. The build quality of the card is remarkable. Prepare for absolute sub-par performance though...:

Interestingly your card has a 6400 imprint on it while it also has unpopulated memory sockets. Interesting because (from what I know) the 6400's only memory configuration was 512 KB and I seeing those sockets I assume users were able to upgrade? Must have been a later revision. Mine dates back to week 35 of 1991 and all memory chips are soldered directly to the PCB without any empty sockets.

Wages and prices in Bulgaria vs Denmark are a tiny bit different. 😉
It's like comparing US prices to hungarian prices, entirely pointless.

True that, however with markets being international like eBay, I would guess it hard to make these kinds of finds in any country ..

Ebay is a different animal, those prices are set to make the most profit from wealthier countries and bidders from those countries have more disposable income to throw at auctions compared to other countries. People in those countries avoid Ebay and stick to local places and that's the reason some of their items seem so cheap. With the exception of overhyped items like Voodoo cards, those are expensive everywhere.

Nope, strictly domestic markets still exist. People who don't bother selling internationally, don't have the language skills and/or simply international shipping would be too expensive to set a competitive price.

I often find myself in that situation. The things I could reasonably sell online are things with "high value density". Small, but expensive items so if I add the ~$40 shipping fee it's still at a reasonable price for the buyer and I still make enough so it's worth the hassle. On the other hand, as a buyer you can find stuff for the fraction of the eBay price.

I think the seller didn't know that Matrox 757-00 is POWER VR PCX2 video card, he just put some price. Also a took FX5900XT AGP with big passive cooler from him for 7.5 euro.

I used package consolidation. My opinion is that it good only in case of saving on shipping, but can be bad solution in case of paying taxes. Some devices are better to ship separetly in case of tax discount or equal to zero. If you pay extra for safe packaging it add some save, but also add extra wight. My last come in good condition
