Hello!.
Some weeks ago i've acquired an HP Vectra XU 6/200 (Dual Pentium Pro). Nearly complete & working, only missing a front bezel.
With original Matrox Card, and integrated SB16 (opl3). And a nice loud speaker with volume control!.
It comes with only 1 Ppro 200 mhz (and, only 1 VRM). I've got another 2 PPro's CPUs matching batch code, but my problem is the VRM...
After searching in google a lot of time for part number, and mailing like +10 old hardware providers, only 1 answered...($999.00!. NO way!)...
I've found this at EBAY for $25 to $50. (Seems to be for P2 klamath)
And this one, it's the VRM running on the HP Vectra: (PN 5063-8794, not printed on VRM, HP manual)
At first look it's nearly identical, it even got the "circle" marked on the circuit board for the missing capacitor
Maybe with minor modifications i can mod that klamath VRM...?
What do you think?.
Thanks.
PD: They look so good 😀
