I wasn't too much into computer hardware back in the 90s (I do remember we had a PC with a Pentium @120MHz running Windows 95, along with multiple Macs my dad used for work), but now I found vintage technology as a nice pastime. I discovered your channel a few days ago - great find! I like your no-nonsense presentation style (no stupid clickbait, midroll sponsors, etc., and a pleasant voice to listen to). Great work; looking forward to seeing further videos from you!

Since I found your channel a few weeks ago, you've really picked my interest about older hardware and DIY electronics projects and repairs. So, I'd like to thank you for that, you deserve way more exposure than you already have. I hope your channel grows a lot bigger in the near future. Thank you Necroware!

If you are into gaming, maybe you should (if you haven't already) take a look at the best PC games of the 90ies. It was a time period of good hardware (VGA, decent sound cards and storage options) that fuelled innovative game designs - before everything practically became the same.

I can explain the strange pci slot on the industrial setup. That's for an internal only addon card. It has no back IO for you to interact with. I've seen this EXACT board before inside of a tire balancing machine and they were using that as a control board for authentication of parts. It was very strange and bricked the machine when one piece on the board was bad.

Cool video, Scorp, nice score 👍 The Compaq card with the big i960 package you got is in fact an early ILO-board (Integrated Lights Out / Remote Insight). We used these a lot back in the day with our good old Compaq Proliants for remote management and monitoring :-) In fact it's the grandfather's father's father of the ILO we still use today in our modern HP Proliant servers ;-) (HP COMPAQ PCI REMOTE INSIGHT BOARD 158731-001 ILO 152142-001)

That card that goes into a server with the embedded CPU and graphics is a Compaq Light Out card. It was used to remote control and monitor the server. That is an early one meant for the original Compaq, (Not HP), ProLiant servers from the late 90s to 2000 or so. Later ProLiant servers had these integrated into the motherboard and HP re-branded them as ILO (Integrated Lights Out). The PS2 port had a breakout cable that had pass through cables for the keyboard and mouse. These were for older servers that didn't have a header on the motherboard to connect the card internally. As far as I know, these only work in the era specific Compaq servers. They also run an embedded web server so you can use a Java app to remote control the server.

The card at 7:00 is an RIB Remote Interface Board, used by Compaq and HP to remotely control a server, see its display output, and send keyboard/mouse events. It runs a webserver on which you can see the output server and control it. The gpu on the card is not actually for the i960 but for the server itself. It's display output is shared between the vga on the back and the i960. The ps2 port is also not used to control the i960. Those emulate a ps2 keyboard/mouse to control the server. Even though it is designed for an HP/Compaq Server, it should just work in any PCI computer/server. If you've got any questions about the card, or need pinouts for the special ps2 port and other connectors, let me know

You can even use it together with a HD TV adaptor, and record HDTV footage at 480/720p resolutions (1024*600 is probably the max resolution supported).

That P4 board would be perfect as the be-all and end-all of DOS gaming machines, since DOS wasn't super happy when tasked with more than one physical core, but that P4 had really high clock speeds and you could match the refresh rate of the RAM to the FSB for even greater performance gains. Maybe install Windows 95 or 98, so you can choose between a GUI and DOS mode? I wonder if that extremely large card from the Compaq server division was meant to be used just as a standalone PC on a card, or if it was meant to be a BMC adapter to monitor and control the server it was installed into. The challenge, of course, is that the vast majority of removable BMC or iLO type cards require proprietary connectors to provide it with always-on power as well as mainboard power controls to switch the server on and off remotely. Still a very interesting piece of kit to investigate further in the future. I will definitely say, as long as you have space to store it away for future use, it is practically impossible to have too much RAM. RAM is prone to randomly dying on you, so having extra is never really a problem until you run out of space to store it all. The you have to spend time finding a RAM tester so you can consolidate down to only the fully functional RAM. If you can get a RAM tester that displays which memory modules on a stick are faulted, then you can even go a step further by desoldering and reserving memory modules to repair the more uncommon RAM sticks that you might have difficulty sourcing again in the future.

And now having gotten back to my computer to watch the second half of the video... 6:34 Compaq Lights Out Option card. This model looks like it came from their early DL380 stuff. Like 133mhz duel slot 1 time frame. The gen 1 DL380 I had came with what looked like that exact card and 2 733 coppermine P3's. Used regestered ram and had the Serverworks Champion HE chipset. From what I understood at the time, my server would have been the tail end implementation for that card until they started integrating it onboard. The card was capable of a primitive IPMI implementation, though not compatible with it, and would disable the keyboard input and the video chip on the servers motherboard as well. It could serve a limited web management interface to a java enabled browser, and could send video to propitiatory client software on either a windows machine or some flavors of linux at the time. Quite capable for its day, but also a bit of a PITA if you want to use the server in any sort of workstation capacity. As it becomes the primary video interface, and is a slow one at that.... As the video output on the back of the card is even encoded in software through the i960. And you are essentially seeing the stream it would be sending over network, and at its low frame rate. At least that is what my card did. You would not get the raw output of the ATI at all. Just what it generates for the purpose of IPMI, I cant remember either, but that connector at the end may also be for video input from the main board. But my memory is fuzzy, it could also serve s sensory pass-through of fan and temp data. 15:00. Interesting. I have no clue. My guesses. The filtering by the plug, along with what looks like some sort of a PHY suggests it may be for controlling servo's. And may need some sort of variable state output. The little bit of breadboard on the end would suggest the ability to customize the part to a specific application. The SB4170 is a card that started to finally fix the atrocious bus noise many earlier cards suffered from. Not a bad card really. That Avance Logic 120... My only experiences with them were only ever poor. Poor digital audio conversion, poor audio quality, poor midi support and poor PnP implementation which sometimes made them a nightmare on non windows 95 machines. 22:40 That offset PCI is for cards to have room to rout cabling from the back of a card to something internal in the enclosure. Such as LCD display. It also allows use of the slot on ATX cases that only have 7 rear slots.

Not as much as all the masking tape and lack of popping the bubble wrap. I want to reach in the screen and pop pop pop.

I cringe every time I see cards, RAM, motherboards, and CPUs wrapped in bubble wrap. Even worse, plastic (cling) wrap. X_x Also, styrofoam is very much not the same as anti static foam. That poor CPU....

The chip that ripped off the network card may only be used for 10BASE2 coaxial networking, and the card might still be good for use with the RJ45 connector.

No, probably the other way around, I think that the magnetic was ripped of, thats used for the rj45 connection.

My first motherboard with 2 SATA ports had them implemented as an integrated RAID controller whose BIOS did not allow booting from a single drive, you had to use two drives in RAID 0 or RAID 1

I've seen that, too. Some would let you put 1 hard drive into a RAID 1 and then you could use it. Strange things at the birth of SATA.

23:44 back in the days maufacturers made special slots like AMR (audio modem riser) or CNR to sell specific cards. A totally stupid idea wich never took off... regular PCI and USB was way more practical...

I thought the same too but recalling earlier in the video, he did unpack a PCI card he thought was for industrial or medical use. I wonder if that card had the same offset. That is an industrial board after all. IF not it could have been some kind of special controller card or serial interface. We have older boards like that in older automation systems at work that monitor varios sensors and drive things like servo amps. IT could be something like an special perpouse I/O card as well

If you watch closely at 23:04 the writing next to the slot says "PCI1" ... That would imply that its a regular PCI slot. Maybe its for a PCI card that has no back end... An addon wich is ment to be used just internal but regular PCI... Its an industrial Board and sometimes they did weird stuff like this. I have some Panel PCs wich have totally weird and custom Mainboards... They work as normal Boards but you cant put them anywhere.

Great donations. One correction, you identified an ISA VGA card with a "WDC" chip on it to be Western Digital. A common mistake but this is actually from Western Design Center.

I'm really curious about that strangely offset PCI slot. It looks identical to any other 5V 32bit PCI slot and indeed the rest of them, but that offset is really strange. I can't find any information on that model of motherboard.
