Box already arrived. Not sure it was worth the money...

Looks like a decent lot! Depending on how much you spent, I think it definitely has some nice stuff in it. The ET4000AX with EGA output is pretty slick... I don't think I have one of those. The S3 805 is also a solid VLB card. The boards are nice too. Especially that Epox... though I would take a close look at the caps. Some of the smaller ones might be getting a bit round on top.

I wouldn't write off that Trio32 completely. A good scrub with some soap and water would make it look a lot better. Someone who doesn't mind doing some repairs to the SMD components and straightening some pins could get that functioning without too much hassle unless there are a bunch of damaged traces. 🙂

Thanks for your comment!

After cleaning the 286 and straightening the Pins I also cleaned the Trio32. Still does not look good and one pin is loose. Dont think its worth spending more effort on this.

The 286 looks OK again:

That looks very repairable. Maybe put it up for hardware giveaway so someone else could take a shot.

The 286 - looks unsued, have seen worse battery damage. Also many bent pins on the Headland:

I have this 286 board, it's my primary 286. I found 4 MB of SIPP memory for it. Absolutely love this board.
