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?
