Interesting that it's in an aftermarket beige box case...

You might consider some 3D printed bay covers. There's an abundance of them to be found on Thingiverse and pals.

(for the usual mounting types.)

As for the MHZ display, all it really does, usually, is take the current status of the TURBO button into account, and switch between 2 sets of hard wired/jumpered states, based on that input. It's basically just eye-candy. It not working wont "hurt" anything except your sense of completion. 😜

I have bay covers:-) The picture was taken during dismantling process. I really meed to set mhz display running and show correct cpu speed to have full retro vibe:-l

Iirc you just jumper across each one and one segment lights up when the button is in the correct state.

Try jumping one at a time, then pressing turbo and writing down the result.

Attaching few more pics. I already retrobrighted front panel, remove rust from tower metal elements and painted it.

The weird thing is that when I try to set "40" with jumpers the "mhz" dissapear. Also I cant set 40 properly , I mean regarding to digit "4"- not all segments are illuminating. Someting was messed up with this lcd.display.

Keep at it.
Mine, Iirc and bear in mind this was 30 years ago, had some horizontal and others vertical.

So I am one step closer to get everything running. I boot from floppy and run dsp util. Now hdd is recognized correctly and formating. Next step is to install free dos...
