Tested the newly acquired Compaq Portable 286. It would power cycle and after I took out the RLL/MFM controller, disconnected the drive (both data cables and power plug), and switched it on, it sprang up. I took the FDD/Serial/Parallel card out to see if it'll turn on and it does.
Granted, it might or will need a recap on the power supply, which is always a top priority.
