Jameco JE2019 (yes they made computers at one time)
..80286 CPU @ 16MHz
..500 MB hard drive (the 40MB MFM drive wasn't working well so I upgraded)
..8MB ram (36 1 Mbit chips + 4 x 1MB SIP SIMMs)
,. 1.44MB floppy
.. 1.2MB floppy
..3COM 3C509 ISA type Ethernet card.
.. SoundBlaster 16
..VGA video
..Serial Mouse
It was a challenge getting this thing to work.
Many many circuit traces were eaten through when the barrel
type CMOS batter spilled its guts. I found the ram chips at the local
electronics surplus store as well as some 30 pin SIMM sockets.
The SIMM socketes made it easy to plug in a standard SIMM to a SIP.
I am creating this post on this machine now.
I would like to find some arcade games for it, however it seems that many
games require a 386+ and EMM386 to run. Any suggestions are welcome.
