Those Analog Saiteks Gameport or Analog USB do not use a special driver according to archive of Saitek website. Here shows no drivers to download for St50, St100, ST200 and Cyborg 2000 series: http://web.archive.org/web/20050419015520/http://www.saitekusa.com/usa/down/drivers.htm ...Same with the …

Yes good "tested" 5.25" floppy drives have been expensive for a year or two... once in a while one shows up for around $50-60. I do not trust anyone on ebay that says "untested, pulled from working machine"or similar... like WTF ??? If the machine was working why not test the parts before pulling …

Just a thought: if your board is like one of the PcChips that had both fake and real cache versions of same exact board you may need the real cache version BIOS if you put in real cache chips.. Finding it may be tricky Actually the M919 is the only case I know of fake cache with traces leading to …

Probably not much help but it was common to parallel a 0.1uF ceramic cap with the High uF buffer caps on lots of old circuits....so C1 and C6 could be 0.1....

Hmmm is that default behaviour on SCSI CD-ROMs?? Think I might have left a couple languishing in the junk pile because despite having front panel controls, they wouldn't "do anything" when connected to power and fed an audio CD. Yeah I remember trying to test some and many did not work unless …

Maybe but doubt it. Would help to know the make and model of this CD changer. Some SCSI devices required an Initiate handshaking between controller and device (though many SCSI HD's will spin up w/o it or be jumpered to) to "turn on" (am being very simplistic) sort of like a mouse or old modem in …

Agree ! Back of the board looks good ! The very small traces that are very dark near the battery look bad. Use a Ohm meter and check the traces...if over a few ohms then they need fixing. Yes the solder joints on the RTC look corroded and need cleaning (toothbrush and vinegar works)... That board is …

Check the voltage from the V.reg transistor to ground, it should be about 3.45v. Do you have a speaker hooked up ? Any beeps ?

Looks like a Packard Bell 430 motherboard or similar... I can see a corroded jumper and at least one bad "via" that should have been fixed during the battery fix.... Too bad about the Diag card, Probably ruined it and maybe the motherboard 🙁

Can not find much information on the external drive. Possibly not enabled in the BIOS or a bad cable ?? The info on Schneider PC's is very limited in my part of the world. Maybe someone at forum.classic-computing.de has some info...

Curious which chassis is the Gx200 ? My guess is bad or loose floppy cable. Did you go back into BIOS and make sure it shows only the 3.5" drive as A ?
