Nope, no old MCA stuff -- I routinely clean out the closet, like I did this last weekend, and get rid of everything. It's kinda a yearly event. :)

Voodoo1 is PCI, and I *also* have a Voodoo2 PCI. Yeah, I'm a gamer. ;) I bought a basic GeForce 2 card this time and am not bothering with voodoo anymore. They're both yours if you can use them. (goes for anyone else -- the voodoo2 is prolly worth a few bucks).

A fella (hi howard!) mailed last night saying he was interested in these two bundles, so I may have a 'buyer'. If that doesn't pan out, I'll re-holler. :) Yes, they are 'standard' SCSI devices (ANSI rev 02) that use the 50pin connector found on any scsi card of recent-ish manufacture.
I live near Tam High in Mill Valley -- anyone who sees Lincoln wanna pick up a box of stuff and drop it by his place? I rarely venture northwards to SoCo these days.... (Lincoln -- I'll just stuff everything I have in the box, so you'll get more than I mentioned - power supply, mounting brackets, etc. I even have a full mid-tower case, ATX, that I'd love to get rid of).
Ho ho ho.
