Hi there,
I got this AST PREMIUM SE 4/33 server, a 30kgs monster, that I'm trying to restore, despite being a lot of time in a wet environment (mold).
After some cleaning (lot of) I'm managing to test it out and unfortunately (long story short) whenever I have the ESIA Scsi card inserted the machine does boot but no keyb interrupt and of course video output.
Here it is the card.
There are some leds on the front pcb and when I start it up it flashes red all the time from the first to the last one, back and forth...a ipnotic thing like supercar IA. Can anyone point me to some AST documentations or manuals somewhere? I have found very little about that company...
Anyway when it is unplugged I can get everything else connected and it works...but no hdd since it is a scsi behemoth and needs the scsi controller.....I have only a ISA Scsi card (adaptec) lying around but I'm not sure if it could be compatible with such EISA mobo.
Cheers!
