It's GP in this machine so no leaks, also I'm pretty aware of these things, it's my fifth or something like this PC10/20-III and I have a couple more Commodore PC machines (different models) 😉

well I've also had plenty of leaky GPs, usually not as bad, but enough to start corrosion ^^

I honestly don't remember if there was a Varta or GP on mine as I've just thrown it into the JAR of DEATH with the rest of them... but while not that bad, the board already had some widespread corrosion all over the area.

I bought the Gravis Ultrasound PnP Pro in the original box with drivers and manuals.

Survived shipment in an envelope...

Interesting card, but only drivers for Win98 available as far as I can see.

Guillemot Maxi Studio ISIS. Its interesting card indeed. I also have this card in the original box with all the addons.

The Box specifically states under minimum requirements (Win98,95,DOS 5.0) for games.
So there should definitely be pure DOS drivers.

I have the ISOs on my Google Drive:

It looks like you have to install the Windows drivers to install the DOS drivers.

Pleasantly surprised it has SB-Link. Will see how it stacks up against the S2DG2

Also picked up a 360 Elite, listed as unused and seems to be that way. Decided to grab it, since getting unaltered 360s is not that easy.

Also have these cards with the breakout box.

Windows drivers can be confusing as they refer to two chipsets and it's true the breakout box is a soundcard in its self. You switch between them depending on modes.

No one has shown it working in dos but there is a thread here about a laptop using a Maestro 2em working in dos.

Hopefully Cyclone's method can work.

You must run c:\maestro.com

Nice! Eventually I think I am going to try to get a Gus PnP as well since it has the AMD Interwave chip instead of the GF1.

THANK YOU very much for sharing the ISOs! I need to set up a Win9x PC first for testing. A Windows 7 driver would be more convenient 😁

The board looks beautiful. Now I wish I had a red board like that but with ISA slot for the GUS. 😀

Absolutely you should, it's a great card. Maybe aim for the Pro model because it has GUS Classic compatibility with the 512KB memory.

Thanks, she's a thicc one too you can feel the quality. I forgot I had this for a partner in crime:

That GUS looks unused! Congrats!

I remember there being a TMC S7 red board and some red SIS 370, 462 boards with ISA slots 😀

Nice choice, a red ForteMedia sound card. I love the matching color.
Thanks, it does look in excellent condition. Also congrats for finding the board, its lovely.

Bought FX-3000 one of this early 486 boards with proprietary local bus slot.

Sadly it doesn't have 386 socket fitted, but it might be possible to solder one in.

Just got in the mail an interesting little voltage adapter for 486, it came with a AMD DX2-80 @ near 32€. A good bargain if it works.

On this passed days also received some big box games that do have some cool factor to them.

As a foot note, Loadstar was a epic flop. Curiously I did play the demo back in the day ( a lot), but never seen a copy in the wild, or in stores at the time. As a youngster I was bewildered and marveled by this type of full-motion-movie like games.
Afterword of buying this game found out that Elon Musk was a programmer on the team of Loadstar, it was strange enough to indulge in a "guilty pleasure" of sorts, and worst yet to have associated with "Tesla fanboy" label. LoL

Local recycling had interesting stuff (again). A bunch of NOS Socket 4 boards. 😁

Wow nice find on those. Do you have any socket 4 Pentiums to use with them?

I have one working P60, but I took just 2 boards with socketed AMIKEY-2 chips as I'm pretty sure one of my many spare boards had a faulty chip in it.

these must be really nice boards!

I found two broken Voodoo5s. I'm going to attempt to fix one of these. The left one is the one in the best shape. It cleaned up very nicely. The right one has some gouges on the pcb that concern me.

I couldn't find their missing slot covers or heatsinks. I assume the Voodoo5s will accept normal north bridge heatsinks. The slot covers will be more difficult to source. Anybody have any spare V5 slot covers?
