its fking insane ... you list a C64 for 100 euros and it stays there for 10 years, you list it for 5 euros and it is gone in 10 seconds

Clearly there is a struggle to find a fair price?

What a beauty. Apparently broken, but I haven't got time to test her yet.
Another one on my list.

More like 9700Pro, 9600XT and 9600Pro does not have extra power need and there is PN 109-94200-11

It's a 9700Pro from Gigabyte. Probably bad memory, but the gold + red design is just top.

Btw. many of the 9600Pro/XT PCBs actually had external power in mind, but never needed it (not populated). Makes you wonder.

aha ! You are correct I have 2 or 3 9600XT and they really dont have the power connector
Unfortunately I dont own a 9700 .. and in my experience many 9600 go bad ... maybe the 9700s too
