Welcome to Boardsort™ - Learn - Sell - Profit -

I'm clearing out a lifetime of surplus computer parts and felt like sharing the nostalgia with everyone.

This thread is a continuation of the conversation started here: https://boardsort.com/escrapforum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=20418#p54003

(I'll clean this opening post up later when I have a minute...)

I started a new topic/thread to continue the talk https://boardsort.com/escrapforum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=25036, if there's a better place for it please feel free to move-it-move-it...

Get Miss Piggy on it. Post it.
Here to learn like everybody else

She may be out until the nostalgia is gone.

My grades are my own opinion and not an official grade from Boardsort

I just looked through my box of ISA cards and found these Sound Blasters, I think there are three different models there.

dang that sound blaster pro is missing a bunch of chips. the other 3 are sound blaster vibra 16 and are not a card id be interested in. I saw a lot of parts in your motherboard photo too with chips and caps removed too. If I buy anything are you able to test them before hand ?

VHS decks.
Any generation of Beta formats. TI8 and Sony-8
Etc.

Again if you actually have the PB386 in the box… they have a custom mb and riser I use for making ISA breakouts for JAMMA boards.

Hey sorry for going silent, crazy in my shop atm. YES!!! I'd absolutely test anything I was sending out first, gladly provide pictures/video etc. You are correct, I've got a lot of stuff that was for parts, I've always gotten most of my repair parts from other devices. When they there's not much left they're hit with a torch for the remaining pieces then into the bin.

I'll take another look at the sound blaster vibra 16, and see how it looks. I've just gotten a couple of i486 stations set up since my last post and have so far tested about 1/3 of my old memory module stock, I think I can use these to test the sound cards, they're all ISA. Today I just rolled in an IBM PC Server 720, hasn't been touched since it was taken off line about 25 yrs ago, if it fires up I'll probably post a few pictures.

The 6 cpu pentium pro beast?

I know I did... I'll have to check if they're survived the last clearing out I did. I know I scrapped 3 or 4 Beta's last year, damn those things were seriously built!


I'll get some photo and show you what I have. c(_)
