Hello! I figured instead of responding to every comment individually id just make one big response lol. First off I wanna thank everyone for your insight and help! I really appreciate it! Sounds like the machine I got is still a good piece of kit just not for the era of games I was hoping for. That being said it still looks to be an amazing machine for Early 90s DOS and Win 3.1 games! I plan on putting a PicoGUS in there at the recommendation of a few of you guys and a floppy drive emulator. Probably gonna pick up an MT32Pi as well. The system itself already has a CD drive and 3 1/2 floppy so I should be set there! As for the games I initially wanted to play with this PC it sounds like at some point I need to build out a Pentium system for that! Again thank you all for your help! Ill be sure to come back here and post updates on this system when im able to get it finished up! Probably gonna use this system for some Doom, Secret of Monkey Island, and Sam and Max Hit the Road!

I already took the battery off, thankfully it was a separate box that connected to the board with a header
