First of all, my sincere condoleances. Please take your time to process the loss of your parent. From my personal experience, it does need time, give it time. The new pictures have been added to the page. They are well worth the wait. Thank you and stay strong. Quite welcome, and thank you, evasive …

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you guys. This past month has been a rollercoaster of events and emotions, with the death of my father being one of said events. For all that talking I did earlier, I just feel outright foolish for making such a big deal out of what's supposed to be just a …

You opened the drive just for checking....??! You know you need a Clean room for that? No comment on that... Yes, I know. A clean room is supposed to be used, especially for newer voice coil drives where the tolerances are insanely small. I assumed an older stepper motor style drive would be more …

From what I know the ST-225 makes constant clicking sounds when it initially starts up before making a normal seek. There's a chance that the MFM card is faulty or isn't making proper contact in the ISA slot (try unplugging it and putting it back into the ISA slot). I popped the drive open and …

Well, I thought I'd leave a quick update/prognosis. The pictures of the boards have been putting up a fight when I try to upload them here. I've tried several means of compressing the pictures of the boards, but this site just doesn't seem happy with them. At least the setup disk worked, and the …

I think without pictures of your board/chipset/BIOS screen/disc-controller it will be difficult to help you. I general the XT-IDE can coexist with a MFM-controller. A 1.2 or 1.44 MB floppy should be supported in all 286. GESETUP may not be compatible with your PC. Is there no build in BIOS setup? …

DOS/diagnostic/supplemental disks: https://vetusabandonware.com/download/Microsoft%20MS-DOS%203.21%20TeleVideo%20Systems%20OEM/?id=11457 Had to register, but I have the disk images downloaded, too! Just need a working drive at this point, unless I can copy the contents over to the CF card. Again, …

30 seconds of Google-Fu: http://vtda.org/docs//computing/Televideo/129003-00A_TeleVideo_TeleCAT-286_Technical_Reference_Manual_Jul86.pdf added here BTW: http://www.win3x.org/uh19/motherboard/show/4890 If we find info (and if hopefully you post pictures and a bios dump) we will expand that page. …

Hello! Although I'm rather new to the forum, I've been dabbling with vintage PCs for many years and learned quite a lot in that time. Yet the oldest PC I've ever worked on, up until recently, had been a 386, so my knowledge is rather limited for anything older. In other words, I'm used to working …

Hi! This is my first time posting on here! Where do I begin? I've at least 20 different machines that meet that criteria! A number of them were either refurbished by my hand, or were pieced together from parts, including my current main rig. Main rig - Ryzen 7 3700x, Asus ROG Strix B550-F Gaming …
