 |
|
Has anyone got a fairly powerful motherboard (preferably super socket 7 or later if they exist) with at least one VLB slot that they want to sell? The oldest I will consider is a 486 board with support for DX4-133. I need it for testing some older graphics cards.

I have this one if you are interested.
Untested at this time but still has the RAM in it and the Printer & Serial Ports attached to it by the ribbon cables.
I probably removed it from a PC I wrecked at some stage.

Whoops, Looks like what I thought was a VLB Slot is actually an ASUS proprietary MediaBus Port on this motherboard so maybe no good to you
Manual is here

But I also have this one and it even has an overdrive 133 Processor in it 
and some RAM, 16MB I suspect
Socket 3 of course
Again unchecked at this time but yet again it would have been taken out of a PC that was being dismantled.

That looks good. How much do you want for it with trackable shipping?

If anyone elses has one, I may be able to buy two boards, depending what the second one is and how much it will cost.

Yup, 1Kg package to the UK with tracking is $55
without tracking $33
Sad but true our international postage rates are atrocious

I was wondering if the shipping cost was going to bite you
I have a socket 4.. but I need to find an updated bios for it to work correctly

I can afford up to around $80 with airmail shipping for a board, preferably with at least a DX4-100 and 4 MB or more of RAM. I'll figure out the software to tests cards when I have a board
I want it to tests some older cards for gpuzoo.com, info on older cards is hard to find (and even Tom's Hardware have incorrect info in some of their early reviewss!)

If you can sort the BIOS and sell it for no more than the price I mentioned above, then I may well be interested. I didn't realise you coucld get VLB on Pentium clcass boards

| Very early Pentium 60 / 66 were available as VLB-versions. |
