That in itself isn't the exotic part, the add-in card that is still plugged in is though, when you hit apple-enter it flips over to a fully functional 486/66 mobo/processor/16MB RAM system, all contained on this board. This was bought at the time that 486's were still in style and the pentium was just coming to market, so it was fairly powerful for it's time to be just an extra card. I have yet to meet anyone else who has even heard of this card, since I assume it was taken out of production shortly after going in.
That card was the single reason I learned so much about dos, windows, and actual system configuration. More than just "click the icon to bring up the wordprocessor."

Old hard disk platters?
I have no idea where this came from, its been sitting in its own little plastic case for years in the back of my closet. It says 'Scotch 949/80A' on it, and was apparently manufactured by 3M. Also it's pretty big, 14'' across. Anyone know something about this thing?

I have some 1 MB 30-pin SIMMs... I guess those might be hard to find nowadays.

Akai GX-625 full size reel-to-reel tape deck with glass heads (still fully functional and sounds great with all the 70's and 80's music I recorded from vinyl)

Very nice. I have a pair of Akai tower speakers. Flat down to 50hz, powered by a Sansui 8080DB. :thumbsup:
