:P I have obtained an olde PC off my friend:
:shock: a Cyrix 486 DX 2
with ISA Trident VGA card (SVGA?)
:shock: It needs the following parts so once again I can enjoy my pre Win 9X collection of games:
-A HDD 250MB or greater but probably up to a Gig
-EDO RAM sticks (72 pin) about 16MB worth
-An ISA soundcard (Preferably a Soundblaster 1,2 Pro, 16 or Gavis ultra sound)
Can anyone help out?
i've got some EDO Ram and an ISA soundcard....
the ram is 72 pin 32mb.
the ISA soundcard is a Sounblaster 16 i believe.
I'm intprerested. How much? the only thing is I have to pay my car rego this week and I'll be poor :cry: But I'll be ok next week :D Does the SB 16 have drivers? I could probably still obtain them over the net or a manual copy from my sister's PC as she still uses one.
Anyway Sego, Thanx man!
Can't wait to reserect years of collected dos games from 1990 onwards. I do use VDMS (Dos/Soundblaster Emulator) in Win2k but it is only so effective and no updates exist since last year. Plus some CDROM and memory emulation (AKA Ultima 7) is still dogy and 486 games beyond 33mz such as Rise of the Triad: Dark War, Terminal Velocity, Descent 2, Mechwarrior 2 and Duke Nukem 3D is poor or non existant.
8) And to all others, Yes these are full version games I own plus many more!
we'll talk about it when you have the funds as i am in no hurry :)
just PM me when you are ready to talk ;)
btw - there might still be drivers :)
may be able to get you a hard drive... probably 600-800mb
will find out soon
got lots of 4meg ram sticks, dont know what kind
K I Have:
4 x 8MB EDO 72pin RAM (if I can find them)
1 x ~400MB HDD (know where that is!)
1 x Sound Blaster AWE32/64 (not sure whether its 32 or 64)
Interested?
I'm definatly interested in the HDD. As for the ram I'll see.
Wow, it's surprising everyone's got all this oldschool gear - but never wanna admit it ;) I've got 2x isa sounds, can offload free. As for hdd, 4 gig mebbe - 66rev's

well the ram i am selling are 16mb sticks ;) so ner :P
Ye well I got 1GB of DDR333 so suck it! 8)

I'm sensing some major penis envy here :?
:shock: I thought this was a trading post and not a discussion or flame fourm for discussing who has a kick arse system! Please don't start another "Life does not revolve around video cards" type post. This post was simply for the selling of old parts so that I could restore an old PC so that I can run my 286-486 game collection because current efforts in attempting to run this era's software on a PC even with a emulator such as VDM Sound is diffcult.
:D However I'm impressed that many of you have the gear. How much do u guy's what for each part?
fyi, i have about 5 old pc's in varying condition (some with all parts and some with parts missing) from 486 through to p133. I would be happy if i got a carton for the lot :D
!!! I thinkks me and wally wanna talk to ya on that one, ok ;) been looking for some servers...
To the following people:
Sego: Definetly after the SB16
Wally: Interested in EDO and HDD
I get paid on Thursday but I am working 11.30am to 8.30PM. So the question is..How much and when and where do u want to meet.
:x I'll still have to pay more bills this week :D but I'll actually have cash!
I'm still after RAM and a HDD for the relic? Hello?! ANY-ONE!!
