Hi, I am preparing a boardsort shipment and have 2 random pieces that I would like to clarify what they'd be considered as.

The larger board is the motherboard from a mid 1980s PC -high grade telecom?

The other board is an expansion card for a late 90s PC

Thanks

EDIT: Sorry for posting this in the wrong section. I see there is a dedicated section for identification!

Smaller looks backplane but I can't see any gold in the black sockets, if you can verify the pins have gold plating I would go backplane.

Larger definitely can go high telco. You can even pull the socketed ICs if you have a IC pile. DO PULL the Battery, brown plastic says Yuksa I think, near the ports.

Thanks for the reply. On that expansion board, the only gold pins I can see are in the white slots. All the other slots appear to have silver pins.

One more question if you don't mind - on that same 80s computer, I have this HDD controller card - would it just be a gold fingered card, or because of the age and amount of old school IC's would it classify different?

So unless I'm missing something on that first smaller board, I'm thinking low peripheral.

The gfc should have enough ICs and pins there to get into high Telco.
