Resuscitation of the old grandfather 386

By chance, the case got an old iron box, and the box turned out to be a good set of antique iron poured into the old case.



And of course I decided to revive the old man :)
Details and many photos under the cut.

')
So, what we have:



Motherboard with a decoupled processor.



Here it is: AMD386DX40 - 40Mhz frequency. This is a clone of the popular intel 386 authorship AMD.




Math Coprocessor 80387



And the socket to install it, note this is not yet a ZIF socket, the processor is inserted with unfit effort, and gets with a screwdriver.



We put in place.



Also found a memory.
The newest SIMM 30 pin form factor



Install into slots of 4 pieces, because we have a 32 bit processor (386DX).
The four microcircuits on the right are the cache memory.




The epic invention of all times and peoples is a multi-card, it carries onboard IDE, COM, LPT and Midi | Game controllers port.


Equally cool video card Trident with a megabyte of memory on board.

Next in the program:


The hard drive Teac 251 megabytes, judging by the type of interface and the size of a laptop.
The interface is an ordinary IDE but divorced to a non-standard connector (although at that time it could be standard). Also, there was an adapter to the usual IDE.



The disk is very thin and bolted through the slide - an adapter to standard hardware 3.5 "disks.



Also found a powerful 200 watt power supply, naturally AT format with a separate brutal switch.



Putting it all in the case.



We put expansion cards.



Well, the wheels. For the sake of this business had to find and reanimate IDE CD-Rom.



Din keyboard in the bins of the homeland could not be found, I had to solder the adapter for a standard PS / 2.




We dig out a canonical 14 "CRT monitor from the cabinet, always black and white.

Iiiii ...
Go!




Having issued a vigorous squeak, the old man starts up like 17 years ago.



An old AMIBios. By the way, who knows how to change the color of the menu design, sorry for the black and white monitor is not visible.



Find the screw.



And here it is! It even found a working Win95.




After a couple of minutes of loading, we see the desktop (I apologize for the quality of the photos, as it turned out to be very difficult to photograph CRT monitors).



Here is a funny iron :).



Canonical Norton Commander.





Also found a few old toys on the disk.




And even the great and terrible prince of Persia. By the way, if someone played, but did not read, then I recommend the Prince of Gosplan

Now it is possible and to rest.
