Hmmm. I know it's near-heresy here, but I'll probably just solder
the new clock chip back in. Unless you'd know the part number of said
low-profile socket? ;)
Thanks for the pointers, y'all. I
don't really collect PCs, but that
SLT/286 has some sentimental significance. It's worth a couple of bucks
and some solder time.
I removed (desoldered) a dead Dallas clock module from mine and
installed a low-profile socket only to find that there isn't even
clearance for _that_. So I nibbled a hole in the bottom of the
battery tray, and the replacement module sticks up just a little bit. (for those that might not remember previous Dallas
threads, I use my
SLT/286 w/docking station to run my UP600a device programmer).
I found the setup disk, but I still haven't figured out - does this
model have the Compaq setup partition on the drive? If so, how do I set
that up?
I'm also trying to figure out how a 2" IDE cable can go south. It
did, though. I have 2 drives that the setup can see fine with another
cable, but the short one is toes-up.
