About a month ago I've got a 386/486 motherboard off of eBay. It was sold as dead (typical NiCd leak).

At first it was always stuck in reset, but I've come so far, that every voltage rail is working perfectly. I'm also using one of those POST analyzer cards, a DMM and oscilloscope. What I've done and achieved so far:
- Repaired and reinforced traces (included some dremeling)
- 12V, -12V, 5V and 3.3V LEDs are all lit on the POST card
- All crystals generate good and stable clocks
- The board goes out of reset and the CPU (Am386DX 40) and 82C206 chip next to that one 8 bit slot are getting moderately warm
- Put keyboard controller and BIOS EPROM in (new) sockets (there were also some corroded vias under them)
- Put in 128 KB of cache (the board came without any cache installed) and set jumpers accordingly
- The electrolytic caps near the keyboard connector were partially swapped out by the previous owner and by me
What I get now are 10 short beeps and the last codes are 0C 0D. What can I do next?
