What are these cards?????

[orzel]

Middle one looks like GVP ram card.
Bottom one looks like GVP ide card.
Top one possibly older GVP ram card.
I had one similar to the middle one but it also had ide connector.
All look to fit A2000.

naaa . . . if the were GVP products, would be labeled and then the connectors are NOT Amiga related (the bottom one seems an ISA)

[orzel]

Check.
ISA connector has no copper and exist for support.
Zorro connectors vary.
My memory is not that solid on the labels.
But hey
L.G.

[Framiga]

yes sorry . . .just checked. They are not even ISA but definitely, not Amiga.

The bottom one, has 40+40 (80 contacts) that isn't ISA nor Amiga video slot.

so . . no idea at all ;-)

Well, if these cards have you lot stumped, then I'd be surprised if anyone out there still knows. Because tehy have no brand name or any real identification on them. I couldn't be bothered doing a trace for the ISA-like connectors to see if they match, because the second connector puts a major spanner in the works.

I don't even remember where these cards came from. I think I got them whan a guy gave me a pile of old computer gear to replace the notebook I bought off him that violently exploded.
He gave me enough stuff to pack my beetle. I also got one of those V shaped towbars that attach to the torsion bar that day. It was in the cabin too. It was a cramped trip home.

So, what do you think my odds are of selling them on eBay, and what starting price?

Well, you'd have to label them all as "Full Length Proprietary RAM Expansion Card" with no warranty, starting bid $0.01.

As far as branding goes, a lot of companies only brand the things they sell separately. If these cards were initially installed in a PC (or some other box) as part of the main RAM bus, then they probably wouldn't have been branded. But at least one of those number sequences is likely to be a part number.

>Microchannel

The cards are NOT microchannel cards, because microchannel cards are smaller.

Perhaps Sun i386 or Sun i486, or other workstations.

[Generale]

Heh. Not going to do the starting at 5 cents again. I sold a big box of Sun software including the OS for $1. Wasn't happy about that.
Then there was MS SQL server. Sold it for $6 I think. grr..

Anyway, basically I'd like the money, and I don't want to strip the cards if they are some rarity that someone has been searching for since the stone age. If no-one out there can use them in their system, I'm definitely claiming the chips.

[Trev]

I would just strip the RAM and toss the boards. It's unlikely you'll find a buyer for hardware that can't be identified. . . .
