Sold MG TK 8498F/GP 486 VLB motherboard

[Half-Saint]

MG TK 8498F/GP 486 VLB motherboard for sale. Minimal battery leakage - battery desoldered. I don't know what the problem is but the board doesn't POST with VGA card in certain slots (2 short, 8 long beeps indicating video error). It came with a AMD 5x86P75 CPU which is being sold separately. RAM is also not included in the sale.

Sold as working but with faults.

Asking 25€ + shipping

Was the problem with ISA- or VLB-VGA card? How much is postage to Finland?

The problem was with ISA. I don't currently have a VLB card as I sold the last two. Shipping to Finland is 10€.

Ok, I'll take it, maybe I can fix it. Had similar problems with another board and reason was a single broken trace in bottom of the board. Little scratch and rest of slots were dead.

Oh, nice! Yeap, seems like an easy fix, probably some traces need to be cleaned or patched. Good choice!

Initial testing and no problems so far, tried all the slots with Paradise VGA. But I think it only uses 8bit lines so there can still be problems with 16bit lines.
