Graphics Cards

IBM Monochrome Adapter
IBM Color/Graphics Adapter
Hercules Graphics Adapter
IBM Enhanced Graphics Adapter w/192KB RAM Expansion (256KB total)
IBM PS/2 Display Adapter (original full-length 8-bit ISA VGA Card)

Sound Cards

Adlib Music Synthesizer Card (the original)

Creative CT-1350B Sound Blaster 2.0 (V2.02 DSP) (no CMS)
Creative CT-1330 Sound Blaster Pro 1.0 (V3.01 DSP) (dual OPL2)
Creative CT-1750 Sound Blaster 16 MCD ASP (V4.05 DSP) (the good DSP)

Disney Sound Source (had to crack open parallel dongle)

Gravis Ultrasound Ace v1.0 (early ACE's have reversed stereo)

IBM Music Feature Card (w/midi box)

Added one or two items to the parent post. As for what I want, I would happily trade the whole kit and kaboodle for a working Tandy 1000 SX with keyboard and CM-5 or CM-11 monitor. 640KB and 8087 Math Co-processor upgrades appreciated..

I suppose it depends on personal disposition. Personally, I would prefer a single post of public interest to an inbox full of similar inquiries. ;)

Questions like 'How much for shipping to xxxxx' are generally not interesting to everybody else, and as such are not appropriate for a public posting.

If everybody posts everything publicly then these threads become unbearable very fast.
 
I am in discussions with some people about these items, nothing has been sold yet. However, I will say that "4.77" is the magic number, and I don't mean currency.

If you're referring to the processor speed of the Tandy 1000 SX you're looking
for a few posts back, I think that runs at 7.16 MHz . Wouldn't that make
the magic number "7.16" ? :)

The Tandy 1000 SX can run at either 7.16Mhz or 4.77MHz, selectable at bootup, which is why its the coolest 4.77MHz PC around.

My circa 1985 Leading Edge model 'D' had a toggle switch on the back. You could toggle it at any time. It was great, since of course those were the days when some games would not play right faster than 4.77 MHz. This model also had a combo MDA/CGA adapter, also switchable by toggle switch. (I think you could even do dual monitors if you used the composite output of the CGA, but I don't remember that for sure.)
 
Yeah, I have an early Zenith XT which doesn't show up on any of the search engines (ZDS ZF-158-42) with the short card-slot "motherboard", the one where the CPU and support circuitry are on an XT card, the memory is on another card, etc. etc and it has a 5/8 MHz pushbutton on the exterior backplate of the CPU card as well.

It seems to switch seamlessly between the two and I can run Mono out of the DB9 and CGA out of the RCA jack at the same time
