As with most stuff -- it depends.
A Pentium 200 MMX on an ATX board supporting DIMM modules with more PCI
slots than ISA slots is less interesting to me that say a Pentium AT
board that supports SIMMs.

Hi folks,
I was in an antique store today, mostly to humor my wife, and much to her
dismay spotted a fairly early luggable: it said TeleVideo on the face and,
looking closer, it was a TPC-1 with the keyboard, the carrying bag, the
documentation AND a metric butt-ton of floppies. Once I get everyt

Hey guys?
Is there anyone that uses DOS and early Win9x Machines?? Ive got about
4 of them that could use a home.. Ive wiped them all and put FreeDOS on
them.
Ive got a number of early PCI and ISA VGA Cards and network cards as well
Are these worth saving??

I'll eventually hook up more serial lines, but at the moment the room is
cluttered
It depends if they are sealed or not.
in manufacturing a lot of boards they are washed off in water
yeah DI water and water soluble flux but still in water.
if your worried test one pot see how well you can dry them
another trick that a antique radio restorer used was to wash them
and bake in oven
Well wadda you know! Guess what I'm working on?

I'm still fumbling around with the multi-tape backup of the R80 drive and
haven't quite gotten it working yet. But I've made some other good progress!
That RL02 pack labeled "VMS53RL02SYS" does contain a working VMS 5.3
