I just received a graphics card I got for a vintage desktop I'm currently working on. It's an Intel RH1N07 graphics card, and I got on eBay last week. This is a replacement graphics card for this PC, because I screwed up its previous one.

Basically a VGA graphics card. It also has a little cooling fan, because graphics cards do need to work hard for their money 😁

I've been looking for one of those Intel-build i740 cards for a while now. Any chance you could share what search terms you used to find it? 🤣

I have a Kyro card but no Kyro II, sounds like a very fun card for P3 etc. systems 😀

I have the 4500 in an Athlon 1800+ build. As first game, I wanted to try it with Tron 2.0 but nope. No T&L on this card so the fun was over :p No Tron for me.

Asus Geforce 8800 ( I have 4 now for SLI ).
SCSI floppy drive.
Some Toslink adapters for sound blaster 5.1
And a Bunch of solder stuffing so I can begin repairing my old motherboards.

I just went on Google Images and typed "Intel RH1N07" in the search bar, and in the results, I found an image of the graphics card I was looking for that linked to that item on eBay, so then I found what I wanted. Simple.

I was not posting new things for a while cause I'm so busy 🙁 But that doesn't mean that I don't get new stuff 😉
Here is what came to me this week. Some boxed goodies:

- Roland CM-500
- IBM Music Feature Card
- Canopus Spectra X20 (GF3)
- PowerLeap for Slot-1 to Socket-370 for Tualatins
- Boxed and sealed! Obsidian X-16
- Ramdrive from Gigabyte

But not busy enough to not find some really rare hardware 😀 Great finds. I never see Canopus cards in my country, I guess that it's a local brand?

I got a Canopus Voodoo, the Pure3D, on Marktplaats once, still one of my best finds. 2 euros 😁 Has 6 MB of memory instead of 4 MB, and a non-standard loopthough cable.

Do you want to double your money spent? 🤣

Just added Canopus to my search query!

Shuttle HOT-419 Rev 3, it is going to be my first 486 VLB build

Sellers photo:

Will post my photo in a dedicated CRT thread when I get to it...

It's Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 930SB. Picture quality is amazing even after 15 years. I already own a 22" 2070SB so this is a smaller brother. Now find me a 17" 730SB model 😉

Bought a Mitsubishi Diamond Plus 93SB. Now I really need to find the 17" SB models 🤣

Both still have very good picture quality. But will do a head to head comparision when I get some time and free space on my desk 🤣

Also got a Philips 14M CRT. Small, maybe 12", black and white VGA monitor.

Good catch, I did not even notice. The seller had this listed as a SCSI floppy drive.
You are right it is just a regular IDE floppy drive. 😠
I only paid a few bucks for it so I am not complaining but I do need a SCSI floppy drive.

The ASUS is a nice board. The ATX form factor becomes more and more important as it gets harder to ob- and maintain AT-PSUs. But I think the RTC-module is soldered, ASUS soldered back in the day while Gigabyte for example spent some cents more and used socketed RTC-modules.

However, the ASUS is not the first ATX Board. I think the first ATX board was Intel FX based, made by Intel.
I recently acquired a lot of Intel Advanced / ML (MARL) Motherboards (Intel based, ATX, Intel HX chipset). Featurewise these boards are quite basic (No onboard USB for example). These boards are also very nice for building a DOS / W95 based rig. I like it because of its great build quality, great documentation, good layout and use of a standard CR2032 battery instead of a RTC module with glued-in battery.

Here is a picture of the Intel MARL board:

I'm building a P200 rig with it, along with a Miro Highscore 3D (licensed Canopus Pure 3D card) and a Riva or a Savage or Matrox Mystique card.

I have 3 of those exact boards, 1 is in a Pentium 133 build and 1 is in a Pentium 75 build.

nice! what else is going in there?

Diamond Viper 770U 32mb

Another oldy but rare goody!

Anybody an idea what kind of cards these are? Look like an 286 SBC, but I dont see e.g. a BIOS?
Currently is offered a box with some of these...but I dont think they are of much use?

• Enhanced VGA Tseng ET4000AX 1MB - ISA P/N 2142S00105

ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe

Crikey what a beauty !

Box in good condition, just slighty "stored":

Is that a bulging box ?:

Oh yea, back in the day "Deluxe" meant "fill the box with as much goodies you can" !:

Oozing with potential !

It even smells new !

Recap probably not needed:

Cooler frame screwed down instead of using the usual plastic pins, how thoughtful of ASUS:

4 SATA connectors, 2 from the chipset and 2 from the on-board Promise controller.
And it looks like it shipped with the 1011 bios, there's a whopping 9 releases after that:

I came across a neat pair of harman/kardon HK195 speakers.
