A slotket caddy if you need one for #pentium3 #slot1 systems like the #440bx.
I'm not a great 3d modeller as you can see but it. works ;)
A holder for sloket adapters for pentium 3 slot 1 motherboards.Means that the sloket is held firmly rather than 'flapping around'There are lots of different slotket designs out there so you may need to modify the holding rails a bit.Tolerances are quite tight - depening on the mood of my printer, had to scale X to between 97 and 100% and Y from 96%-100% to make sure it fitted over the slot.
I grabbed this ThinkPad i Series 1171 today for $25.
I know nothing about the i series other than this one has a P3 and 122MB memory. It's in absolute perfect condition. Even if it end up being a terrible machine, I'm still gonna be happy just to sit it on a shelf and look at it. It's gorgeous. It also came with its HDD caddie and battery. The battery is long gone but it's at least there to fill the spot.

The shift to #Slot1 by #Intel and then its abandonment after the #Pentium3 #CPU stopped me from upgrading Lucifer 😢:
