My Thinkpad 701C/Cs project (AMD 133 Motherboards FOR SALE)
Hello everyone,
I have not ONE but TWO AMD 133Mhz boards that for most peoples purposes may be considered functional.
CPU works, stability is fine with the following specific issues:
System and Memory tests will hang in the built in diagnostics
Unable to use graphics drivers, this is the main issue, I've tried 3.11 / NT 4 / 98, as soon as you try to boot into an OS using their respective graphics drivers IT WILL NOT WORK. Both boards show this behavior, this may or may not have been a side effect of the modification process, so far I have been unable to get any confirmations from anyone else who has one of these boards. You will be limited to the basic 16 color palette.
I'm selling the boards as-is for $200 each. As an added bonus, one of these boards came to me with a 64MB memory module, it takes a few tries of reseating it when first installed, but once recognized by the system it has tested (via memtest) to work fine. For the first person to make an offer for an AMD board, you'll get that updated memory stick!
The prices include shipping, payment via paypal, Absolutely don't hesitate to ask any questions via the thread or PM.

Vinegar and a QTip mostly. None of the installed boards were even very bad, some had their standby batteries removed before they could leak.

I have extra hard drives and motherboards, but looks like you are selling retail and buying wholesale. PM me if interested in what I have.

Hmmm, that's a little more cracked than I was imagining.... I'll have to think about it. Interested in a partial trade for anything?

If you rebuilt a battery pack you'd hardly notice it, the pictures are close up, its not very noticeable from a normal viewing distance.
