Hi, I accidentally won some auction and there was this VLB card for 30 USD. I did not notice until it came to my hands that some parts are missing.
1) BIOS is missing, that might be simple: just download and flash BIOS from this website: http://chukaev.ru54.com/video_en.htm
2) Additional memory to expand it to 2MB is missing: this might be easy to buy on E-Bay (do you know which ones are the best? It is probably some 40-pin DRAM, 70ns or 60ns)
3) Oscillator is missing: this should be simple, just buy 14.31818 one
4) The upper resistor is missing on my board (CR3) - Does anyone know what to put there?
5) The bottom resistor CR4. My board has only gold plates. On the photo I see some silver - it looks like something is soldered there or is it empty as well?
Thank you. Next time, I guess I won't buy in my country, but buy on E-Bay...
