April 22, 2011 at 09:31Resuscitation of the old grandfather 386
By chance, a box with old iron went, and the box turned out to be a good set of antique iron, poured into the old case.
Well, of course, I decided to revive the old man :)
Details and many photos under the cut.
So what we have: A
motherboard with a soldered processor.
Here it is: AMD386DX40 - frequency 40Mhz. This is a clone of the popular intel 386 by AMD.
Mathematical coprocessor 80387
And the socket for installing it, pay attention that this is not a ZIF socket yet , the processor is inserted with non-firing force, but is taken out with a screwdriver.
Put in place.
Also found a memory.
Latest form factor SIMM 30 pin
We install 4 pieces in slots, because we have a 32-bit processor (386DX).
The four chips on the right are the cache memory. The epic invention of all time is a multicard; it carries on board IDE, COM, LPT and Midi | Game port controllers. No less cool Trident graphics card with a megabyte of memory on board. Further in the program: Teac hard drive of 251 megabytes, judging by the appearance of the interface and the size of a laptop. The interface is a regular IDE but wired to a non-standard connector (although at that time it could be standard). I also found an adapter for a regular IDE. The drive is very thin and bolted through the slide - adapter to standard 3.5 "drive mounts.
We also found a powerful 200 W power supply, naturally AT format with a separate brutal switch. Putting it all in the case. We put extension cards. Well, the wheels. For the sake of this business, I had to find and revive the IDE CD-Rom. We could not find the Din keyboard in the bins of the motherland; I had to solder the adapter for a regular PS / 2. We dig out a canonical 14 "CRT monitor from the cabinet, always black and white. Iiiii ... Let's go! Having issued a peppy squeak, the old man starts up just like 17 years ago. Old AMIBios. By the way, who knows how to change the color of the menu design, it's a pity I can’t see the b / w monitor. We find a screw, and here it is! It even found a working Win95.
After a couple of minutes of loading, we see the desktop (I apologize for the quality of the photos, as it turned out to be very difficult to photograph CRT monitors). Here is such a funny iron :). Canonical Norton Commander. Also found some old toys on the disk. And even the great and terrible prince of Persia. By the way, if someone played, but didn’t read, then I recommend the Prince of the State Planning Commission. Now it’s possible to retire.
