You're right it is the original SCAMP. Interestingly it does have a -33 added to the part number so it's obviously a higher speced revision

If we're talking about x86 only, then I'm going to go with 80286. Probably a pretty unpopular opinion, but I find 286s are just really interesting to screw around with. 286s represent a transitional period, and were available for 8 years, so there was a lot of variety in the hardware. There was …

the POD83 is great, someone on here did a thread about it not too long ago - it produced the most performance gains over its base platform out of any of the POD series

if there is a DIN back there that is just arbitrarily blocked by that stupid plastic I would not hesitate to remove the plastic because it is just stupid, and should have never been there

the manufacturer would have punched it out themselves if there was a connector there, it was probably an optional feature (unless of course it was a just a QC failure or something)

did you have interrupts enabled? I get much better performance out of XUB with interrupt disabled

There is no need to shrink wrap the entire switch, just heat shrinking the spade connectors individually is perfectly sufficient and how most manufacturers did it back then

Very high. A short like that would have only damaged the sd card adapter or psu, but both are still working so you should he just fine. No display is exactly what you would get with a corrupted BIOS image

Absolutely. If you cut back the shrink wrap you will probably find the same size spade connectors as are on your case's switch and just move them over
