On what seemed to be any normal Monday, I stopped by the local electronics shop and asked if they would mind me rummaging a bit in their large container of "stuff people wanna throw away" old electronics.
They didn't mind as usual (I've asked before), and as usual I didn't expect to find anything worthwhile.
Well, today I ended up with a cardboard box full of old IDE HDD's, a Seagate Cheetah 10K.7 73GB Ultra 320 SCSI drive (I don't have a host adapter to test it with), a Creative 24x CD-ROM drive (apparently dead), a floppy drive and an old motherboard-bag full of 72pin simm modules. The simms all look unharmed, but I won't test them in my 486, as I worry too much about damaging it. I'll test then when I set up my AOpen AX59Pro based SS7 system though.
There appears to be 10 matched sets of 2 and 4 random sticks of RAM. A few are marked with OEM stickers, like a pair of Compaq ones.
Hopefully some of these bits will be functional and come in useful at some point.
Does anyone know of a PCI Ultra 320 SCSI host adapter (Don't have a motherboard with PCI-X), or will I have to try to get hold of a cheap PCIe one to put in my main system?
Would be awesome to run this Seagate Cheetah in my P3 system 😁
