I've got two PS1 devkits sitting around, one of the newer DTL-H2500 PCI cards, the other a performance analyser (2 EISA cards strapped together), complete with CDROM units, but only one set of cables (video and controller breakout boxes) Also got (Original) copies of ProDG, and the runtime library CDs. I also have a green XBox Debug unit. Does anyone have any idea what the going rates are for these items. I've looked on EBay for the PS1 kits but couldn't find any. I'd be willing to sell some/all of this kit, but only if the price is right.
What PCs generally have EISA slots? They didn't seem to be that common. Or was it only more expensive motherboards on like 486s and early Pentiums?
Lots of later computers had 'em, even many AMD K6 boards so they're not so high end, maybe back in the 80s when it came out. P2/P3 comps I think have EISA, but usually only 2 slots :\ barring you from the whole set which is why I'd like a 2500... which doesn't have all the software the 2000 has. If Sony was smarter back then, they'd have made a Pstool for PS with all that crap integrated.
Since EISA was the successor to ISA but not as fast as PCI, a good bet might be an old Pentium Pro board. They tended to be full size and have 7-10 assorted slots.
Kyuusaku: you sure EISA is that commonplace? I've never seen a P2 or P3 system with EISA, even less a K6. I'm sure most chipsets don't support it. I've only seen it in branded (ie Compaq) systems, and it's pretty rare at that.
No I'm not sure, I just did a Google search and found a K6 mobo Also just did a eBay search and found a mobo with EISA in the title. ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4615&item=6756408804&rd=1 ) Does anyone know how to tell the difference between EISA and a regular 16bit ISA connector? I bet this is really EISA but crazy $$$: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=44941&item=6756894359&rd=1
well, what might be the hard part in telling the difference is that EISA slots looks exactly like ISA as they should accomodate the same ISA cards! There's a layer of additional EISA pins below those for ISA but I have no idea how to spot that without resorting to ominous tools or something.
