My birthday present. You can't tell, but Thunderball (the one where Austin Powers got most of their material from) is on the TV in the background. The Beetlejuice DVD underneath was a Valentine's day gift btw.
Hopefully you have the ethernet option with that. Probably of no use now as you have USB but if you were collecting old PCMCIA crap you could have had some of my old PCMCIA ethernet adapters

Speaking of legacy ports a local computer shop was offloading https://www.amazon.de/LogiLink-UA00...008UG6CPS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 for next to nothing so I have some gameport controller action going on. Sadly it is not yet working properly with my microsoft pad from a few weeks back, though I should probably fire up one of the 8 or so legacy machines + laptops I just pulled out of the attic and on one of those first. Making do with the buttons of my old Tiny (as in the computer company) joystick which is the same as http://szamitastechnika.vatera.hu/s...lvaso_joystick_tv_jatek_panel_2457536651.html but in white.
That said if it works the way I think it does I might have to go back as that could make for some nice interface things rather than messing with arduinos and teensy++ family chips.
and if we are going for true legacy crap then one of my parts bin finds was a boxed and still shrink wrapped intel pro 1000 f so as to have a legacy fibre ethernet card.

That looks yummy as heck. Give it to me!I think it's fair to say a pattern is emerging.
I only bought it because I like the colour.
