    "Motherload" update

    Here is a little update of my so called motherload that my lack of experience kinda hampered. but anyways i still ended up with a decent haul. I got 29 of those tower thingys in the back. they have one of the two or both boards in the bottom pics. Buyers please chime in and let me know what those are worth because i really wanna do the happy gold dance.

    Interesting stuff. I would like to see the buyer opinions as well.

    I would think the second picture would sell for gold conector ends.

    The middle pic I think they call that a "backplane" board. Roughly about $3.00 lb.

    I just dropped a small load off at Computerscrappers and I think there was one of those in the box and it got sorted out separately.

    Here's a web site to look up your cool chips. I had a small hand full of the 486's I just sent off today but never have seen the two in the bottom picture. Mike.

    mikedmissouri, Send your pic's in a PM or an email to "your" buyer, you might get a faster response.

    It looks like these are dip switches. I found the this site that mentioned chip number one as a TRW 1016J5C8 40-pin DIP. http://www.webtfg.com/digger.htm
    Number two chip looks like a 40-pin DIP also. Nice chips.
