This stuff

Great haul! I've restored a PC30-III not that long ago and the HDD wouldn't spin up (WD93028-A). I gave it a good shake and that seems to have done the trick 😆

Both the PC10C and PC30-III HDD spins up, just does scratching noises... like all of them I had before... well, I will replace them with Seagates. Fortunatelly I have some XTA spare for PC10.

Check out my AmiBay and eBay for vintage PC hardware.

It doesn't seem like the regular AWE64 drivers work with this card.

Where did you find that? I've been wanting. 4600 or 4650 for ages.

You might need to connect the sb_link to your motherboard in order to get it working in dos

Wasn't that the Dell version of the AWE64 PCI?

Well the Trust Korg Super Sound Module arrived today. Quickly popped it on a SB16 and happy to report it works great and sounds awesome. Just need to decide which card to host it now.

Gosh, I've been looking for Korg DB for ages, man.

Congrats!

Is it just me or is the software & driver that comes with the TL866-II scary as just about anything you can find on the internet short of products that promise you free money?

The installer & drive really look like something that could infect you with custom APT malware if your domain name ends with .gov.

I feel like I need to build a VM that's disconnected from the internet before using that software.

Am I too paranoid?

Bought a MS Sidewinder 3D Pro in original box with docs, software etc from local thrift store. Looks like it was never used. Can't take a picture until my phone gets a charge.
Somewhere in the garage I have a few Logitech and MS joysticks stored but did not label the storage boxes so not sure if I already had one or not.....

Hate posting a reply and have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. 🤣 Second computer a 286 12Mhz with real IDE drive ! After that came 386, 486, Pentium, P.Pro and everything after....

Bought this Magnavox Headstart DX-33. Can you figure out why I bought it?

This would be easily worth north of 300USD... and it's still a nice complete retro system with some fine components: Diamond Speedstar64 2MB ISA , Creative Sound blaster CT1600, Chinon 5.25" 1.2MB floppy unit... 😉

Good eyes.

There is one more part that made me buy it.
