Good afternoon all, I am looking at the power supply board for a friend of mine (he did nit send the whole computer, just the board and the wall adapter). I am getting some voltages, but not all. I am told that the HD and FD have the same PS, but the LT is different. Not all pins have the...

I think I am going to give this one a try, see if it fits my purpose. https://github.com/rdmark/macproxy

The goal is to remove all the extra code that is useless to my browser and, essential, speed up the connection. I am running DOSppp with mtcp and wattcp also functioning.

I have created a dialup server on a RaspPi that I am using to connect my Compaq SLT/286 via it's 2400 baud modem. I am wording what would be the best proxy I could run to cut out all the extraneous coding that my text browser (DOSlynx) can't process anyway. Either something I can just type in...

I would be down for some 286 ram. if it is affordable I have a single 1mb chip right now.

Yes I have. I know where the voltages come in, what I am wondering is if there are continuity between any of the pins. Maybe some of them form a bridge to charge the batteries?

Sure can, it was a two-parter. I just posted it for someone else last night. It's a different computer, but the same pack.

I saw on a video that it takes a heat gun and a long time to crack into one.

Can you please do continuity testing on the 18v charge and tell me what pins have continuity? I am wanting to make sure I get the battery charging circuit connected correctly because I will be rebuilding my battery pack as well.

I ordered 10uF 35v for mine. I had three of them pop, one of which was visibly exploded and two that showed no visible signs of damage but showed no resistance during continuity testing.
