Can you also post pictures of the EGA-card and the case please? Whcih BIOS revision does the board have?
yeah, I recognized it because you posted about it before 😀

I snipped off the battery and cleaned off most of the corrosion for now, interestingly enough the battery terminals themselves aren't really corroded but the keyboard connector needs to go probably and one of the AT power pins was corroded on the backside, also one trace on the back might need repair, otherwise it looks in good shape.

unfortunately there are no markings on the bios chips, interestingly enough they're factory marked on the chip directly, so I assume it's a very early version probably?
so that'll have to wait until I get around to testing it.
it also came with this nice matching full size MFM controller

the EGA card is another Genoa Super EGA Hi-Res, already got another variant of these, it is my first ever GPU of my first PC, I don't know which version exactly I only know the model from the original manifest I still have, in any case having different variants can't hurt 😀

the case... you're not gonna tell me now you made me pay more for it, are you? :p
it's nice, as I already had another one of these too 😀
