Howdy everyone.
I'm gonna buy a slightly abused E-II for $50, tomorrow
(yeah!)...missing a couple keys, and "doesn't make any sounds" (maybe
not a good idea.. i don't care really if i can't get it to work. I think
these are one of the coolest looking boards ever made. I might just
mount it on a wall or in my car somehow...)
The guy says the HD spins up but the machine makes no sound (maybe it
won't boot up, or maybe he's just not clever enough to get it going.).
I've read that sometimes the floppy drive ribbon cable to the
motherboard becomes loose, so I'm hoping that's the problem.
I was wondering though, that if the HD is bad, how does one replace
it/format a new drive? can i use it with out the HD (maybe replace the
HD with a second 5.25" floppy), and just use floppies?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.. I'll let ya know how it turns out
in a few days.. -Aren
