I was just given an older 486 computer that someone has stripped out all of the memory, drives and processor. What was left were just a bunch of ISA expansion cards, mother board and case. The cards were just thrown in the case in a jumbled mess.
I was wondering if any of these might be compatible with my 5150.
I know some will not work, like the video adapter and hard disk controller. I'm more interested in possibly using the serial, and Ethernet cards if they're compatible.
If anyone is interested an any of these, let me know. I'll take whatever I can get for the most part, just pay for shipping. Can we trade? I'll even take a serial card in exchange for the entire lot.
Here is the complete list of cards:
Serial/Parallel card - Part No. 4990/2593 PCA-1-0
3Com Etherlink lll 1995 3C5098-C ASSY 03-0021-02 Rev A
Adaptec AHA-1542CF/1540CFAIC-797OQ (I honestly don't even know what this card is)
Cyrus Logic ISA 1 Meg Video adapter JAZ-8228
Hard Disk/IDE Controller - KW1400795
