Did a lot of repairs and rust removal on the case for the Socket 7 rebuild. Bought some #8-32 x 3/8" screws and Rust-Oleum gel rust removal spray and it got rid of tons of rust. The FDD/HDD bracket has a bit of rust left, but after a good spray-down and wipe-down, it will look a lot better.
I then got the system setup and it wouldn't power on with the ATX PSU that I have installed temporarily. Didn't realize that JP3 was set to AT PSU (pins 1-2 shorted) instead of ATX (pins 2-3 shorted), but that was my wild guess since I couldn't locate the manual for the motherboard until I looked in another directory on my phone and found the jumper settings there. Then the NEC MultiSync LCD1530V wouldn't get video, but the POST card's speaker beeped once, so I figured the video card is good and connected the Dell 1702FP monitor to the computer and that got a picture. Time to fix the NEC monitor again or connect my laptop to the display and see if that works and if not, then repairs to the monitor is necessary.
Another snag is when the system detects all of the drives, except for the LS-120 (need to look and see what's going on with that), it locks up at the drive detection., which I believe is a conflict somewhere, so I need to fix that (possible the onboard USB took over the IRQ for either the Primary or Secondary IDE IRQ address(es). Other than that, it's getting close and my GeForce256 DDR 32MB card works. Might as well install the 64MB GeForce256 DDR or keep the 32MB since I can connect VR glasses to the display card, which is nice.
