Hi all

I search for all kind of informations about:

ICL ErgoPro D5/60 REV 1 (Pentium60) made by Fujitsu(-Siemens) Finland.

I have just the info of the boardlayout and jumpers. I got machine one time running, and it complaint about bad CMOS settings. But it freezed when I corrected the time. Battery is exchanged to a coincell with diode. The bios is a ICL-custom (award?) bios. Now gives error beebs, 4 short high and 1 long deep tone. Battery was not leaking, but was shortly before doing it. The whole computer is nearly new old stock, no scratches nothing, no dust on the board.

I tried web-archive, but without much success.

I need infos:

- about the bios(flash)chip, about the AM53C94 SCSI-chip (the same as NCR53C94)
- Handbook, Handbuch, manuel d'usage
- Installdisk / CD / drivers etc.
(- schematics ....)

English, deutsch et français

Can we rule out that this is a beeper "battery dead"?
A NiCd is considered deep discharged/dead below 1V/cell.

3 - .7 = 2.3V, that's way too low, possibly even too low for the 32768Hz osc to work.
Try again with 3 AAA cells (4.5V) + Si diode.

This seems to be the only file archived on Wayback which relates to the D5/60

"These drivers are for the integrated audio and SCSI on the ErgoPro XG,XGi and
D5/60. The audio drivers are for Windows 3.x; the SCSI drivers are for DOS,
Netware (3.1x and 4.0x), OS/2 (1.3, 2.x and WARP), Windows NT (3.51 and 4.0)
and Windows 95.
"

thanks for the driver-link. I tried webarchive too, but didn't found this. I try this as soon as I may enrter the BIOS-configuration. Now it just beeps 4 short high and one long deep at power-on.

bottom right hand corner of photo green trace wires have discolouration and corner of circuitboard looks distorted as it possibly suffered a power issue?
bios is the weakest component as it becomes volatile to power surges you may need a doner BIOS chip from my experience and this photo shows but if its just a web photo i appologise.
BIOS death is common amongst power failiure and improper overclocking i don't think this could overclock easily if at all 🤣

That is my board, but my camera isn't the newest model. I try a better shot. The board was not overclocked, the budgwewires seems original and not corroded or burned. I'll inspect the bottom tomorrow.

I try to find the bioschip on the board and then read it out with clips.
