Looks like a no-go. Attempted power-on fried a capacitor on the board. Nice zap and pop, though.Skiprr wrote:OMG. I have a 386 PC circa 1993 up in the attic.
Don't get you're hopes up: hasn't been powered-on since 2000, and it's been living in Houston attic conditions.
I'll pull it down and test it this weekend, but my bet bet is no-go, even if I switch out a new power supply.
I'll try, though. Think I even have an old, unused, 386 motherboard up there...
