Hey guys, sorry about letting this go to abandon. I will look into the issue of the broken links. I should still have all the files and pictures. Thank you for the offers to host files, I will consider it.

Now to find expansion cards that fit in there 🤣 It is also pretty weird how the keyboard connector and what looks like a serial connector or video are placed seemingly in the way of the cards.

Here is a soviet PC/XT clone mobo. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/221369388162?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Look at those expansion slots. Are those Isa compatible somehow? I find this pretty interesting and mysterious ( From my westerner perspective ) Any interesting info about those?

I was thinking on something like telephonic modems, that actually transmit data through audio. It does look like a device to transmit data through an analog waveform. But like keropi said, could be anything 🤣 I wish they had better pictures of the card from the front.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/DEI-8-Bit-ISA-Sound-Ca … =item2c845f94bd Could not google infos about it. Seller calls it a sound card but I have my doubts.. I think it might be some sort of early network card based on audio. But that is just a guess.

You can easily add a -5V rail on any PSU using a linear power regulator (7905 for example) or DC-DC converter :) Good Idea, I guess this is what we will have to do in the future too. I was also starting to consider Arcade power supplies. But those I see would not be powerfull enough I think They …

Heres an example, but the seller has jacked his price up since when I bought my last one from him... at 20$ lol. …

🤣 nice. You know it is going to be a good day when you find 3dfx hardware at yard sales. Did intel ever reuse the full suited clean room tech mascot after pentium II ? I seem to remember a P III advertisement where these guys were still there.
