About a month ago I've got a 386/486 motherboard off of eBay. It was sold as dead (typical NiCd leak).

At first it was always stuck in reset, but I've come so far, that it's going out of reset. I'm also using one of those POST analyzer cards, a DMM and oscilloscope. What I've done and achieved so far:
CPU is solderd onto the board (PQFP Am386 DX40)
OPTi 82C495SX chipset
- Repaired and reinforced traces (not under the SIMM sockets though)
- removed diode, that was charging the battery
- Voltage LEDs are all lit on the POST card
- All crystals generate good and stable clocks
- The motherboard goes out of reset
- CPU , on board cache, keyboard bios and chipset are getting moderately warm (CPU a little warmer, around 40 °C)
- Put keyboard controller and BIOS EPROM in (new) sockets (there were also some corroded vias under them)
- The tantalum caps near the keyboard connector were partially swapped out by the previous owner and me
What I get now are 10 short beeps and the last codes are 0C and 0D. What can I do next?
