Hello my patrons! On the next main channel video we have a treasure hunting episode. I have a few boxes of random computer parts that have been collecting dust in my living room, so it's time to dig into them to see what awesome goodies lie within. 

This box doesn't disappoint, as it has some interesting and obscure parts that I'll need help identifying. Take a look and perhaps I can get some insight that could lead to some interesting follow-up videos.

In the "human malware" front, I'm no longer testing positive but I am still left with come congestion and a cough. People tell me it may take months for me to entirely kick it, but at least the symptoms are pretty mild at this point. 

Thanks for all the support!

Ooh that 486 board is a pretty late model one, based on its on-board hardware. I wonder if you can benchmark the AMD DX4-120 that was installed on the board, against the Pentium Overdrive I sent you a while back, and the Kingston TurboChip you also showed in the video.

Here's a similar midi card from Music Quest, although it does not have the RCA connectors. Other than that the layout is similar. The site has the pinout for the DB9 to midi cable. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=38478
