Still moving out various leftover stuff...
I've got 2 Trident 9440 VLB video cards. One w/1meg, the other w/2meg.
I've got a Trident 9440 ISA video card, one meg.
I've got a NEW Mitron VLB Ethernet card, w/combo ports, new in box. I
also have one new, but out of box, but w/drivers disk.
I've got a 256K cache for pentium style motherboards. COAST 3.x
I've got many cache drams, from various boards. Like I've got 4 32K ones
for someone who wants to upgrade their 128 board to 256. I've also got
some 8K tag rams and 64K dram caches chips too. And I've got some more,
but don't know what they go to. :) If you'd like to try to upgrade an
older 386 or 486 mb, I might have what you need.
I've got a nice Secondary (or third) IDE controller card. No box or
manuals, but it's pretty simple. The settings are on the card. This is
for adding a 2 (or 3rd) ide channel to any mb. If you've already got a
master and slave drive on your primary ide channel but want to add a ide
CD rom, etc.... this will do it for you.
I've got some nice MediaVisions Sound cards w/an SCSI port! W/drivers
and manuals and box.
I've got a used MediaVisions Video Capture card. Box, disks, manuals,
etc.
Make reasonable offers on all stuff.
