One more #hardwarearcheology item. This bunch of 3.5" floppy discs is a Win 3.x driver for Matrox Millenium graphic card. The bag with 8 diskettes has newer been open. When I was at secondary school, Matrix Millenium was a biggest dream of many of my older friends.

Old but gold: Upchurch P-470 needle splitter valve. There are not so many microfluidic needle valves with micrometer head available at the market: one is from Takasago (MNV-xxx) with ugly two-barb connection, the other is this one. #microfluidics#hardwarearcheology

Upchurch Scientific P-470 downstream splitter valve. The image shows the  needle valve laying on top of its original box. Hand-written text at the label "03/26/99".

Well, probably #hardwarearcheology is not a proper section in this case. The board was produced around year 2014 and can be flawlessly operated under modern OxyGen environment.
