Vintage Computers

This thread popping up reminds me I have the below, gathering dust if anyone on here would like it, I don't have anything that it will fit in any longer, maybe someone with an older PC that could use it. I have the matching speakers but still use them, surprisingly good sound 15 years down the line. Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Digital

Anyone perhaps have a 8 or 16 bit ISA VGA card that they're willing to sell?
Or, perhaps a working Hercules/CGA monitor?

I've got an old 286 I'd like to get up and running, but It only has a Hercules/CGA capable video card.

Sad to say everyone did that. In a recent video Adrian Black read a letter from someone that sent him stuff, the guy only had the manuals and software left after disposing of the hardware decades ago. He went on to admit he (Adrian) did the same - in fact I think we all did.
 
Beautiful
I still have my original Microsoft xBox steering wheel and pedals with the 24v power supply for force feedback
Probably the best thing Microsoft ever made.
Its super awesome
I must fire up the old xBox 360 again soon

Racing Wheels & Seats - Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel (Force-feedback) was sold for R520.00 on 11 May at 08:01 by Meta_13 in Johannesburg (ID:279739250)


I also have a Logitech Force feedback steering wheel for PC somewhere as well.
Dont have much use for it now seen as i am running Windows 10 now
Ive had the wheel for almost 20 years now
Was awesome on Windows XP

And besides, I dont game cars on PC, only on my xBox360

There was this guy I knew for a few years, his day job was directing advertisement shoots, but to make ends meet he got into computers. Jimmy was his name, can't remember the last name, stayed in Stikland. He got some very weird (for the time) hardware. Here you see a Cornerstone Dualpage 120 monitor. It is monochrome and fixed frequency, so it only runs are 1600x1200 60hz greyscale, came with its own display card that had a 13W3 connector. Well, it was using 13W1 to be technical, but still an absolutely marvellous beast to behold at the time. Running Windows 98 there with a 14" VGA monitor next to it. The background image was high res for the time, 1024x820, still did not fill that screen. I bought a few of them and sold it with P100-ish computers on Junkmail. They made for amazing computers if all you did was Office 97.
