Ill need a working PC Marty

i think i may have one mitchell can get working for you.i will send him out to the barn when he wakes up.
-
I have quite a few if you want one.
Let me know approx what generation of pc you want, I have from 486 through to Pentium 3.
You can have it for postage.
Probably cheaper to pack up just the m/board and any cards rather than the full case and p/s.

Thanks Guys
So many questions ^&^. I was hoping this would be simple I really have no idea what type of Processor lol.
I think it runs windows 98 if that helps ill see if I can find out any details of the PC needed to be honest I've never even seen a PC with this type of slot lol
-
I suggest you say what you need it for so that others will have an idea what size you may requier. *%*

Good idea I need it for a Gottlieb system 3 test fixture.

What ISA card do you need to run?
The card you need to run will come with drivers for a particular operating system.
If you need to run Windows XP then I would suggest a P3 or maybe a early model P4 (some oddball P4 boards MAY have ISA slots).
If the drivers are for Windows 95/98 then any P3 will be fine.
Suggest you go for XP though because Win98 is a total pig and although Win95C is better than Win98 drivers for the other peripherals can be hard to find.

It's running 98 I think it's definitely not XP ill check what the system is tomorrow at work

Let me know all the parts you need
Do you need a complete running system (m/board, CPU, ram, video) or do you only need a board to get yours going?
I don't have any slot1 boards but I have a few Socket 370 boards with CPU's here.
Let me know exactly what you need.

Had a dig through all the pc's I have and six out of six P3's only have PCI slots, no ISA.
I do definately have some ram here so let me know if you get stuck with that.

Thanks boots ill keep searching

Damien,
I had a hunt through my old shed and found one old clunker with an ALI M1429G A1 motherboard which has 6 ISA slots. I can send you the PC without hard drive or operating system. All the hardware is in working order.
PM your details if you want me to send.

This looks like the right one.
I will post PC to Damien. Glad to see one more shed relic going to good use.
