You actually paid money for this crap? xD Well, I liked it's color... Also, it wasn't that expensive. I think I paid 1euro for that, and 3,5 for each of the other two. And while a friend also bought quite a few from the same seller, we split the shipping cost. When those three cards arrived, I was testing a pentium board I also got, and used that just to see if the cards work. So, I had a pentium 233MMX with a 4MB S3 Virge card, which scored 163 on 3DBench. First I replaced the Virge with the Tseng card, and it dropped down to 68. And using the other two, it was around 35.... |

I scored another big haul of compy parts over the last week. I picked up a couple shifts, work was slow and I took the opportunity to do a little rummaging in the scrap heap. Plus a couple things I bought on eBay finally came.
I found: Motherboards: Intel AL440LX and Asus P2L97 = 2 i440LX based boards, only 66MHz FSB sadly, but the Intel board has an onboard Yamaha YMF715 sound chip. Biostar M7VIG (Socket A, VIA KM266), with an Athlon XP 2400+ (Thooroughbred) Asrock P4S61 (Socket 478, SiS 661FX), with a Prescott P4 3.0HT 1MB L2 Sound Cards: CT3910 Sound Blaster AWE32 Value IDE Non-PnP with genuine OPL3. CT4520 Sound Blaster AWE64 Value (eBay) CT2940 Sound Blaster Vibra 16 (I think this is the one with CQM sadly) CT2960 Sound Blaster Vibra 16 CPUs: Athlon XP 2100+ (Palomino) Pentium 4 1.7GHz (Socket 423) Pentium 4 Moblie 1.8 (S479) Duron 1.3GHz (Morgan) Pentium III Mobile 1.0GHz (S495) K6-2 450AFX K6-2 475AFX RAM 3x 512mb PC2100 ECC Registered DIMMs. 1x 512mb DDR (unknown speed) 2x 256mb PC800-45 RIMMs 2x 256mb PC100 SODIMMs 1x 256mb PC133 SODIMM 3x 64mb PC100 SODIMMs Video Cards: Sapphire Radeon 9250 AGP 128mb ATI WinCharger Mach64 PCI, 2mb I think (Not pictured.

Nice score!
What's the date code on that Dallas RTC and how much did it set you back? A lot of times Chinese eBay sellers try to get away with selling 95/96 date code RTC's, which is entirely useless since the built-in battery doesn't typically last more than 15 years. The first two numbers on the RTC should be the year, the next two are the week. I ordered some from a Chinese IC dealer for less than $3 each and they had 1995 date codes. I finally got a refund after going thru Paypal. My luck with RTCs has been hit or miss. I did get some on eBay for $5 each that had 2006 date codes though. One worked and the other didn't. Again, I got a refund. If you are willing to dish out $12 per RTC, digikey sells new pieces with 2010/2011 date codes! _________________ The Ultimate 686 Benchmark Comparison The Ultimate 486 Benchmark Comparison Cyrix 5x86 Register Enhancements The Worlds Fastest 486 |

I think I only paid 7$ for the Dallas, came from a US address but looks like it's originally from a Chinese dealer. The date code seems to be 9125, so looks like this thing is over 20yrs old... however it seems to be working OK. I'm not out much if it doesn't last long. I only have 1 PS/2 (I thought I had 2, but can't find my 50Z, which had a bad HDD anyway), so next time it comes around, I'll get the 12$ chip.
How do these work anyway? Are they always active from the moment they're made, or do they only work/discharge the battery when they're installed into the motherboard? _________________ = Phenom II X6 1090T(HD4850) = = K7-550(V3-3000) = = K6-2+ 500(V3-2000) = = Pentium 75 Gold(Voodoo1) = = Am486DX4-120(3DXpression+) = = TI486DLC-40(T8900D) = = i386sx-16+i387(T8900D) = |

The clock is off when they are shipped, the BIOS acivates it. However the batteries have a certain self-discharge so they wear out eventually even with the clock off. _________________ 1+1=10 |

I remember my dad having a Video7 card in his computer. Apparently it had decent AutoCAD drivers. The reason I remember it so well is that it has the cycling rainbow-coloured text at boot-up. I thought that was pretty nifty. It also had a decent VESA driver, that allowed me to play MechWarrior 2. _________________ VogonsDrivers.com | Link | News Thread [retro swim] | Link | Release Thread What the hell are you talking about, Max?

I saw them on ebay. I was considering buying the MCB-1 but decided I didn't really need it since I already had an LAPC-I, and MT-32 and an ISA intelligent MIDI card. _________________ If you are squeamish, don't prod the beach rubble. |

How much did it cost? Enough, but it is it worth.. Its harder to find an CM-32L.. or so.. And mostly these cards are more about 250 euros~ priced then lower.. And the MCB-1 is the hardest to get!! Yes i can wait till i find a other or cheaper one, but then you can still keep waiting. And never finding one. I have also an Roland IPC-T and MIDIMAN MPU interfaces.. so i always can use those too if i need to..

Maybe looking for an Media vision PRO Audio spectrum too.. For my 80286 rig i would have: Creative SB 1.5 (I have already) Gravis Ultrasound MAX with 1024 (i have already) or maybe use the PrimaX soundstorm that i have here..

This is today's Thrift Store Score (TM), all for a grand total of $7.
By cookiejarbill at 2012-02-23 
By cookiejarbill at 2012-02-23 An AT-style Aopen AV5PM Pentium 166, loaded with Windows 98. 32MB RAM, 56x CD, 2GB HDD, cheap ESS sound, a modem, CL PCI video, and an Opti USB card, but this board actually has a USB header...strange. The CPU fan was stuck solid, and the heatsink mounted with no thermal grease. Some people just should NOT touch computers AT ALL. Once I got it blown out and cleaned up, in went the Elsa Synergy-II 32MB, SB Live!, 128MB SDRAM (4 DIMM slots and 1 SDRAM slot), and probably a 233 MMX CPU when I find it, also a Voodoo if I can scare one up cheaply. This was the only AT-style system he had today. 2 Compaq mini-Towers, 3 Dell desktops, and a couple of generic ATX PC's that didn't interest me and I just don't have the room to collect any more of those. What would I do without this retro-PC hobby! This nearly rounds out my generational collection: 386DX-40 (under construction) 486-ADZ133 (awaiting new PCChips MoBo for it) Pentium 166/233 <---purchased today! PentiumPro w/ PII Overdrive (my OS/2 system) PIII-850 (GLide PC) Dual-PIII Xeon 900 (Server/Workstation) Socket 370 1.267GHz (BIOS dead, needs re-flashed) Socket 423 2.0GHz (for my Elsa Revelator 3D) _________________ Will pay $$$ for: caching ISA I/O-IDE controller Ensoniq Soundscape ISA PM me for my list of trade-ables... |

I just scored this off the 'bay:
Sure, it is a version I but from what I hear, the version I's are better with the classics than the MK II's. |
