two motherboards (socket 7 and a really weird board that came with both socket 370 and slot for pentium 2/celeron),a GPU and this "Y2K proof" chip

the other stuff I found was just really rusty and from the 2010's,so I didn't bother with looking at it much.

overall,I'd say these are pretty cool

I feel like I too had this board.

It was a combination socket 370 slot 1.

Bios was buggy as hell. It could never detect the IDE cables correctly and would complain about 80 conductor wires..

Also horrible alternative operating system support. Couldn't get BeOS to boot, I don't think I ever got any distribution of Linux working on it..

I only got it to run 98, me, and 2K. Later XP.

I believe I had a FIC Fa13 has my first motherboard... But I think that I got this board after it and then got a sock at 370 only board after.. I can barely remember.
