My first big Conquest!
Hmm... I got a whole box of these Newer Technology accelerator cards... not sure what they go to. The one card goes into a slot, and the other goes into a PDS/Nubus? slot. They are attached via an orange ribbon. The number on the card is DT370C1.
BTW.. I got all of this stuff for free!

No USB stuff. All ADB. Everything is 90's Mac stuff.
Along with the systems listed above -
Many, MANY drive sleds... plastic and metal ones
10 hard drives
12 floppy drives
Lots of memory, ROMs, cache, VRAM
1 Monitor (which I've needed for a LONG time)
6 CD-Rom drives, a ClubMac external SCSI CD drive (Yay!)
Numerous SCSI ribbons, a few external SCSI cables
Many Accelerators and video cards to go with them, including a Sonnet Crescendo 500MHz G3 card
6 Keyboards, 5 or 6 mice, and a Kensington Turbo roller ball mouse
A few Ethernet cards
And numerous bezels, many of which have broken tabs on them.
I'm sure I'm missing something, but I'm pooped yet again sorting through it. I'll try to get some pictures in a bit.

IIRC, the 6100 shipped with no ROM SIMM (ie, ROM is on the logic board). Try booting it and see. If I am wrong, the 7100 ROM should work.
The second card is almost certainly a video card - Apple AV with a Mac video port and two S-Video ports, or HPV, with only the Mac video port. When the accelerator is not present, this goes directly into the PDS slot.
If you post a picture, we can probably ID the whole thing for sure. In fact, throw us some pics of anything you're not sure about
If you do have the socketed ribbon cable, that would let you mix & match accelerators & video cards in the 7100
Always nice
Is the ribbon cable permanently attached, or socketed? In the 6100, the ribbon cable is not required - the video card plugs straight into the accelerator. In the 7100 or 8100, the video card would collide with other components, so the ribbon cable allows you to move it over to a Nubus slot space.

I am actually quite excited to have an ADB rollerball mouse... always thought it went great with the compact macs...
Anyways, here are the pics. Just a note... yes the boxes are dirty, and yes some of the stuff is dirty. It was all in a garage. I haven't cleaned anything yet. I've been really busy over the past few days.
And this came with a white ball as well -

Those are odd keys on the Keyboard II...I thought the letters looked bigger when I first looked but dismissed it and only mentioned the colored ones. Now I notice the blank keys, "Erase"instead of "delete", and use of capitolization like "Shift" unlike the two examples I have here without going down into The Dungeon. Shift, caps lock,etc are all lower case on the normal keys. I can't quite read the green "return" key to see if the label is different. Odd keys! Anyone seen those key caps before?
Here's an image I borrowed from Wikipedia so anyone reading can see them both in this thread.

It's all accelerators and video cards out of 7100/80AVs, so they are all PDS slot cards. There's also 2 accelerators for the 6100... they are the PDS type with a right angle PDS slot above the heatsink. I think they are both 150MHz? cards.
As for the oddball keys on the Keyboard II, I'll get a better picture of them.
By the way.... The guy I got this stuff from worked for the US Government, and he got all of this stuff at government auctions. He also had TONS of Sun stuff, as well as a few PCs.

Awesome find!

Interesting - if they are ~150MHz, they could be 604 accelerators - very rare. EveryMac lists G3 upgrades from 210MHz up. Kan agrees.
