After retrobriting the 486 eBay PC, washing the board (some corrosion) and re-badging it (it was labelled a 386,now just AT 1800), I cut a hole in the case plastics and fitted a three 7 segment display. The tint piece is out of an 80s Corolla I got earlier this week when I went to a nearby wreckers. I grabbed a few more for upcoming conversions.
Think it came out rather nicely:
I also tested out a Chinon 5.25 a client sent in - I will have to do a write test later on.
This computer is ready for the Grand 486 test of CPUs (something like 15 CPUs will be benchmarked). Now I just need to find the time between finals to record and edit it all 😉
