The seller has this listed as a Gigabyte GA-6BXU Rev 1.5 mainboard.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/195259246091
According to Gigabyte's website the GA-6BXU has only one CPU slot. This one
as you can see has two.
The only dual Pentium II slot main board I could find manufactured by
Gigabyte is the GA-6BXDS shown here:
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-6BXDS#ov
Notice the number of electrolytic capacitors beside one of the CPU slots is
different from that shown in the main board for sale.
The seller has not responded to my inquiries which may be a tip off in
itself.
Thanks

Anyone near Chicago want to pick-up a nice Altair 8800B with Altair floppy drive for $1500?
It isn't mine, and the working status is unknown. They don't want to ship it.

I bought it. I know it's long odds that I can get it to do anything,
especially without that daughter card, but, waddahell, it's an
interesting DEC PRO collectible. I reckon I'll plug it into a PRO and
see if it responds to attempted accesses. If the ROM contains PDP11 or
VAX code, I'll disassemble it and see if there are any clues there.

Myself and some more people would be very interested in finding a set of installation disks (or disk images) for HP-UX 2.0 and 2.1 and later up to 5.0.
Obviously these have never been or made available, but maybe someone still has a set.
These early HP-UX versions were used on HP 9000/200 systems with floppy disks like HP 9826 and HP 9836 as well as on 9000/217 boxes.
Later versions work fine on HP 9000/300 systems, but not on the 9000/200 systems with Motorola 68010 CPUs.

This seems like a good place to ask this question - I'd like an Apple Lisa 1 "twiggy" system for my collection, and can trade a working IBM 5100 Portable PC. We'd probably have to meet in person to make the transaction. I'm in So CA.
Thanks-

Subject: Comal 80 in Great Britain
Hey there, my name is Mikkel, I am working on a book about a series of
danish micro computers where the history of the programming language
"Comal" will be a part of, and i just discovered that there was a UK
Comal User groups and also a periodical called "Comal Bulletin", ive
searched the internet i cannot find anything. But i hope that you might
know some historians or hobbyist? or even online databases? you can
refer me to?
I would like to know all there is to know about Comal in UK? And as a
sidenote, if somebody knows something about danish computers in uk from
the 70s and 80s i would of course like to hear about that to.
Hope you can help me, more info about my book is here :
