Today I've received a package with PC motherboard "PETER-286 Ver. 2.0". It's a 286/12MHz mobo which have sockets for max of 1MB RAM. It's corroded by battery acid so I must "waste" some time to rescue this mobo ;)
Now please look at some photos.

And in other package I've received SIEMENS SAB 80286-16-N CPU.
Now I must clean this mobo, check and repair what's damaged and get my hands on 8x 44256 DRAM chips ;)
Unfortunately there are some mysteries on this mobo. Especialy with RAM chips... http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherbo...l#.UmvYa38lqSo doesn't reveal much of those mysteries...
what mystery? you just also need some standard 41256 (16kb) chips to act as parity for the main 44256 chips
(the funny looking 'double' sockets can take either 44256s or 4464s depending if you want 640k or 1m)
Thanks SaviorX. Now I know what I need for this mobo :)
Haha hahaha etc ( giggling like a schoolgirl etc)
Not seen or used an sx-64 since I worked at a games shop in about 1984(?)
Needs some tlc, inc making some replacement blue caps for the handle ends . Small stuff, it works great!
Picked it up today, got it a few months ago but had to wait till today to collect it!

This is Tim Wright's "Strix Memoria" Psygnosis tribute album-on-a-USB-flash-drive.
I'm currently listening to it as I'm writing this. :D
Picked up a few more books http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/27/te9eryhy.jpg
And not entirely new but whilst making room for the books thought I would take a shot of my growing Microprose collection

WOW. I remember seeing this at the start of the year and wanted it, right until I sae the 4 figure pricetag lol. You must be one devoted fan to fork such an ammount, kudos to you and the 249 others that also coughed up big time for these.Quote:
