I was wondering if there's a surefire way of
telling if an IBM-PC has its
original motherboard, without opening the case. I saw one at the
Salvation Army today and was considering dragging it home (though I
decided to take another machine instead).
The machine did have a cassette port in the back, with a femal DIN
connector. Is this attached to the motherboard?
Generally, on the original motherboard there are two DIN connectors: one
for keyboard and one for cassette. I'm not sure if the cassette connector
was present on the 256K motherboard. Something tells me a certain
Englander named Tony Duell either knows this or is reaching up to his
bookshelf to pull down his technical guide to find out for sure.
