My only CRT is a Loop one with the RGB-TTL 9-pin connector.

I have a 9-pin to VGA adapter, but either the adapter or the CRT is faulty because I'm not getting an image - just a white screen.

Ok so last summer I traveled to my parents house in Minnesota (I live in Ohio) and I went through my old room and found some goodies I'd like to share.  First on the top left is a delicious pizza from the local bowling alley.  The next three pictures are a small collection of my PC games I had back then.  Then is my beast of a DOS machine that I played some classic games on.  Next is a box of Magic Cards from the early 90s, then my old GameCube, a receipt showing I paid $70 for Madden 64.  Then a couple 3DO games (If anyone remembers that system).  Next is my copy of Tetis for the Famicom.  Then random games like Asheron's Call, Everquest, Dark Age of Camelot and Nights for the Saturn (with controller) and lastly my 32x.  Crazy finds!

I can actually be the master of this post, I have hundreds of old cpus, motherboard, ram, and everything.. 

Tho I thing that the only real intresting thing I have is my x58a-oc motherboard. It's an overclocking monster, really a legendery motherboard. I'm searching to sell it but I need a very specific person to buy it so it's still in my room

Sadly, the CRT only displays a white screen.

Not sure if it is a CRT fault or an adapter fault (it takes a 9-pin RGB-TTL connector, and I'm using an RGB-TTL to VGA adapter.

I don't know if it is the cable or the CRT.

Hoping the cable.

So. I recently sold a LOT of computer gear, just tidying up. If you guys (mods?) are okay with it I'm going to post it here, as I barely have any current gear. Still have some, I'll post that too but that'll be later :).
Here's the first post:
These are (or were, rather) my two Philips MSX. They didn't go far, I offered them on Facebook Marketplace and a guy right around the corner of where I live bought them. Had them for so long, MSX is where it all started for me. They are made in the Netherlands and were always dirt cheap here, compared to other countries. So no C64 for me!

That's definitely SDR memory (you can tell because it has 2 notches)... Looks like a socket 370. Also is that an AMR slot? I forgot those things even existed lol

I remember having an ATi 3D Rage II +DVD with 2MB of video ram as an onboard "gpu" on my first family computer, an IBM Aptiva G66... it was a Pentium 166 with 16MB of ram and 3.2 GB HDD... such good memories
