The CMOS battery used to be the NiCd battery (3.6V) and the person removed it to prevent damage and I don't see any corrosion or bad traces on the board. Strangely enough, I've never heard of Symphony as a chipset company. Found info: It's a VEGA VS486F-VL3 , and here's the detailed specs of the …

Found this... http://i.imgur.com/wR8NZCVl.jpg Was happy to take it just for the CPU, but then the guy said he also had the rest of the system. Bought it all. Unfortunately, he disassembled it completely. Fortunately, he still had everything (he thinks). Will have to puzzle it back together. Curious …

Has anyone seen this case before and know how to configure the Mhz display at the front? Just mess around with those jumpers behind it until you have the desired numbers. You can safely do so when the system is powered on. The jumpers are difficult to access (behind hard drive cage that can't be …

Bought this lot yesterday from a hoarder: 8 desktops PCs ranging from Socket 7 to Pentium 4. 3 old keyboards, loads of floppies and 30-pin and 72-pin RAM sticks. I might resell most of these locally without even cleaning them as It's not really an era I'm passionate about and I don't have so much …

"do not use or store inflammable substances near the monitor." If a substance is flammable, it could burn (flame). Why would I worry about an inflammable one? If it's inflammable, what's the problem? "inflammable" means that it can catch fire easily. It's not the negative form of "flammable" but a …

What are you going to use to make holes in those blanks? Since I only need two round holes a drill shold do it. I got 10 attempts so I should be fine. Wow, I need to find one of these. The round holes for PS/2 & audio could just be drilled, but the rectangular would need multiple drill and file/ …

Fantastic, thank you.. One last question; the cpu cooler on this thing is driving me nuts. I can not, for the life of me, find a way to remove it. What is the sorcery that actually unlatches it from the pegs? The green thing is supposed to be pressed down I believe, but the hook does not budge at …

While i'm waiting for a Slot-A heatsink for this newly bought board+cpu: Where did you get one? I have an Athlon 700 that needs a Slot-A heatsink.. You should be able to also use a SECC1 Pentium 2 heatsink, if I'm not mistaken. Not that those are any easier to find but it might give you some more …

Hook it up to a working ST-506 controller and see if you can get it detected/formatted/working ;) (RLL and MFM both use ST- …
