???Why would the location of the
motherboard cause you to trash a machine?
That's not what I said. Work w/me Dave :)
I didn't know the guts were under the motherboard proper (or more accurately on the
underside of the mobo). So I scrounged the memory and whatnot, and tossed the rest out. I
had assumed that this unit was missing the cpu card, seeing there wasn't one present,
as would be the case in a proper well bred fine piece of computing garbage.
Repeat it was in the not knowing where the guts were that made me to perform this
horrible act of indecency.
And incidentally, I do like them. I just somehow dislike them at the same time
(they're just different, unorthodox in some ways). They earned general high marks
w/me, being they were pretty much fully compatible, and yet had that 640 x 400 color
option. I've never owned a color capable 6300/M24/Xerox ?, but still want to :(
My HP series 9000 PC305 is also missing it's cpu card (and the 68000 board thing
also). Don't worry, I thoroughly checked underneath the motherboard - nothing there.
If anyone can help me out, I'd be most indebted.
