This NOS dual display adapter based on two CL-GD5429 chips. Found it in local ads for cheap.

Great find! Do you know what's the use case? I suppose it can't be used on Windows 3.1 or DOS but on NT/ other systems?

great find indeed, and with the cable too ^^

I mean, the usecase is right there on the box ^^
it all depends on the software, DOS can do multiple screens as well if the software supports it.

Thats a cool photo but does this card just mirror the primary display ?
If so what good is it ?

Even 16MB 30-pin Simms can be had new for a good price.

Not sure what shipping from the USA would be though.

They are damn rare where I live. I actually managed to find 2 16MB 30-pin SIMMs two years ago, from a guy who got them custom produced for himself many many years ago and they are on an AWE32 currently. I would be OK with having just 8MB on that card, but I till don't have any 4MB ones.

Here is a set of 4x 4MB 30pin in Canada. I know shipping from Canada to the USA is cheaper than from the USA to Canada so maybe it is true elsewhere.

As for getting whatever 30-pin Simms you want, I could always order some for you and then ship them... No added cost over what I buy them for. Shipping for up to I think 4lb is about $24 or so for international shipping.

I just had to snipe this: a big ass box of ribbon cables. Nobody else showed interest for some reason.

Bought this new Supermicro Super 370DLE dual socket 370 board. Originally listed for $89.99, but got an offer from the seller for $59.99 + shipping. Thinking of pairing this with dual 733MHz PIIIs. I've got 2x 512MB PC133 that will hopefully work with this board. The only downside is there is no AGP slot, which is a bummer because I would love to turn this into a retro workstation PC.

Cool, shame about the AGP, guess you're looking for one of these https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/qid-pro.c3525
Though later gen 32bit PCI cards might bury it.

Bought the last Snark Barker SB 1.0 clone card.

Seller's photos:

May it ever bark most snarkily. 🤣

I hope that's an extremely wise buy and not just a bag of someone else's problems. I see some ports in there, w00t. I am starting to wish I bought that set of dies for stamping out D connector holes I saw 5 years ago, as I'm sure I'll end up making port cables at some point to get everything hooked up.

Also won these video cards 0n shopgoodwill.com with some or all of the items:

XFX GeForce 6800XTreme AGP video card:

BFG GeForce 8400GS PCI video card:

I have two kits sitting here waiting to be build. The only thing I'm missing is the bracket and I don't like the 3D printed ones. Does anyone know if proper metal ones are available somewhere? I guess the big problem is the DB15 hole since it's oddly shaped....

I'm not sure if a standard SB 1.0 bracket would fit on there (if a dead one pops up that is beyond repairs), but I digress.

Nice board - I have its bigger brother, the DL3, with onboard SCSI. Plan on a SATA or SCSI system as the onboard ServerWorks IDE is dire 🙁

Well, it was a bit of a mystery box. I bought it because I saw an MFM data cable in it and I needed it bad. For some reason whenever the word MFM comes up sellers just go mad and ask outrageous prices even for simple ribbon cables.

Would you look at this beauty...got a good deal on her too 😀

How much was the card?

It came in a 25EUR bulk with a ECS P6SET-ML mainboard (Slot 1 and Socket 370) with Celeron 466MHz and three sticks of SD-RAM, all working
Makes me happy 😀

I think it would since the Snark is a 100% replica. Finding a SB 1.0 is not an easy feat and I would prefer to make new brackets. I found this website [1] a while ago. There might be something there...
