So i bought this computer from 93. Looked up spec and went for it for 80 quid. Was full system with, i believe 13" crt,keyboard and mouse. Took it appart by bit, cleaned it up. Discovered that it is fitted with 486 100MHz overdrive cpu. I have also discovered that it came with MCA slots rather than all known ISA, ouch it was, cause hdd has bad sectors and probably will die soon. Went on investigation and ordered ZZXIO McIDE-CF and also for some audio, David Larsson's Latest Sound Blaster Replica which also has joystick port.
This will be mainly DOS machine with windows 3.11.
The keyboard does not work. Checked caps, cable continuity, all good. Ordered same IC, will try to replace it and see if that was the problem. Any ideas of what might be wrong? LED's light up, but keyboard is not detected? Had to design and 3d print feed for it as one was missing.
Another issue i have is i dont have bios floppy. Anyone had any info of where to get it? I will try youtuber TIBo's retro computers, he might have it.
