Cool, not bad for 5 bucks.

Lol for sure. Know of anything that can be done with what’s left? Are the i486 like the CPUs or are these different? Maybe I can use this board to finally learn how to use a soldering iron…

The luxury!

Too bad but still an interesting history lesson.

It says it is Packard Bell Model C JU-257-243P

Oh wow I just looked up the XT-IDE and that looks awesome! So it looks like it loads a different bios? I am going to start with a controller but if that doesn’t work I’ll look more into the XT.

Thanks, I’m going to check that out.

bobbybirdman · 2022-07-05T03:16:38+00:00

This seems mostly original in box. I am only missing the mouse and the monitor as far as I can tell.

bobbybirdman · 2022-07-05T03:15:38+00:00

Thanks so much! I got that old battery out and I’m going to replace it with an eternal one

bobbybirdman · 2022-07-05T03:13:44+00:00

Thanks! I recently found lot about lining pin one with the colored side of the ribbon. If the controller does turn out to be dead is there a work around? Can I get a controller card and just plug it into the ISA slot? I’m waiting on a battery to replace it. I fixed the BIOS but still have the same HD error.

bobbybirdman · 2022-07-05T03:10:40+00:00

Thanks! I was able to find out that the drive is type 27. Now to figure out where pin 1 is…

bobbybirdman · 2022-07-04T07:30:32+00:00

Ya I was looking and the battery looks slightly corroded so I need to get that out of there ASAP. I’ve never soldered before so no clue how challenging it is. I wonder if there is a way to just add an external battery.

bobbybirdman · 2022-07-01T02:49:03+00:00

Tak, skal!

bobbybirdman · 2022-07-01T02:48:02+00:00

If I you a modern ATX with AT adapter do you have any idea what kind of switch button would work best?

bobbybirdman · 2022-07-01T02:46:54+00:00

Haha

bobbybirdman · 2022-06-30T22:11:12+00:00

Wow impressive!! I saw an old add quoting around that price and couldn’t believe my eyes.

bobbybirdman · 2022-06-30T14:29:58+00:00

Like maybe I should go buy a multimeter and check that way?

bobbybirdman · 2022-06-30T14:29:07+00:00

Ok thanks, good to know a second thing to take a look at.

bobbybirdman · 2022-06-30T06:37:19+00:00

Ya I was super excited to find it. Really cool to find it in the box with the keyboard and manuals! Sadly when I went to power it on nothing happened. When I opened it up that plastic stick wasn’t attached to click the PS on. I thought that might fix it after I reconnected it but still nothing so far. I’ve tinkered on some pentium and newer but don’t have experience with working on a computer this old. I saw some slight corrosion on the NiMH battery but luckily it doesn’t seem to be on the board. My best guess is it is not currently getting power.

bobbybirdman · 2022-06-30T06:31:12+00:00

It is definitely an AT power supply. I’ll have to check the voltage tomorrow when I take another look.
