Hi All!
I recently bought a Pro 350 from ebay.
The machine looks to be in great condition.
All card slots are full. I have a rough idea that the first card
labeled 000401 is a MFM hard disk controller. The second card
labeled 002004 is a floppy controller (no brainer, it is connected to
the
dual floppy drive). The third card is a 001002 and I have no clue
what it does. The fourth and fifth cards 000034 appear to be memory
cards.
The sixth card 000046 has a quite impressive cable to a large connector
on the back... I have no clue about this one either.
I attached a VR201 and the machine boots with a graphic picture of the
machine with the first card highlighted. I assume that it is unhappy
because
it does not have a hard drive.
I have several MFM drives and would like advice on how best to bring
this
baby back to life!
The drives I have at my disposal are:
ST-225
ST-4026B
Micropolis 1335
Micropolis 1325
Others possible.... What would be best???
From a mechanical perspective, this machine is a
wonder! It is about
as far from a clone PC case as it is possible to get... It is
built like
a tank!
A tank that you can tear down and put back together without a single
tool!
Any and all information and suggestions about how to get this baby up
and
running would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
