Hello all, Due to a variety of circumstances I am no longer willing to hold on to the vast majority of my Gateway 2000 computer collection. This was a serious hobby of mine for about five years, and over that time I amassed a significant amount of Gateway 2000 systems and products. So I am...

Hi all, I have been looking for the Micro Firmware BIOS files listed here for a very long time: https://www.rigacci.org/docs/biblio/online/fi … are/mfibios.htm All of the latest BIOS updates are available on the web, but they all require a previous version of the BIOS to be installed on the...

Hi all, I am currently trying to configure an Ultrastor 24F SCSI EISA card in my Anigma motherboard EISA system. I have the EISA .CFG file and I successfully loaded it using an EISA configuration utility, however no matter what I do/change I get an error message on startup - "Disk Controller...

Hi all, Hoping you are well. I really want to get this 33 mHz Micronics motherboard working again. When I got it, the VARTA battery had leaked, and there was corrosion surrounding it. I let the corroded part of the board sit in vinegar, then rinsed with warm water and let it dry. I still get no...

Hi all! As the VCFED community has been so helpful to me in the past, I thought I'd share this issue I'm having with this motherboard pictured. It's a nice Gateway 486 JX30G 09-00189 motherboard. It was working just fine a couple hours ago, then I took a break for lunch, and I come back to this...

Hi all, Simply looking for a black bezeled 5 1/4” drive for a PC project I’m doing. Located in New England. Don’t feel like paying the ridiculous $190 eBay prices for one. If you have any spares you’re willing to sell, let me know! Thanks so much! -bostonvintage1993

Hi all, I hope you had a wonderful holiday. Writing today as I have a motherboard (photo attached) with a Cyrix MediaGX processor. I have been able to find absolutely no information on the motherboard. It has no model markings anywhere on it. I have gotten it to POST with the traditional power...

Hi all, I recently acquired one of my dream machines - a Gateway 2000 386 from 1991. I really want to get it working to put it on display. However, the motherboard is giving me some trouble. It is a 386/25 Micronics motherboard, and I originally thought it was dead since I got no video...

Hi all, I’m looking to buy this exact 486 motherboard. Photos attached. It comes from a Gateway 2000 machine and is made by Micronics. The model number is 09-00189-03. If you have one and you’d be willing to sell it to me, I’d appreciate a PM. I’m also looking to obtain the original processor...

Hi all, I hope you are doing well. I am in need of these gold, circular motherboard standoffs. I have included a picture of them in use and a close-up photo. Does anybody here know where I can find them? Or suitable replacements for them? I also need these horizontal motherboard clips pictured...

Hi all, and happy thanksgiving! Just a few minutes ago, I was working on a Gateway 2000 Pentium P5-90 motherboard that has been completely dead for years. I had last powered it on around two years ago and got nothing displayed on the screen. I finally got around to troubleshooting it - I placed...

Hi all, I'm a school student and a big vintage computer enthusiast! I really like Gateway 2000 computers (if anyone wants to talk about them I'd love to!) but have fairly recently taken an interest in Commodore computers as well (my dad had the classics back in the '80s). I was able to acquire...

Hi everybody, Recently I've been working to restore two Gateway 2000 486s in their signature Baby AT cases. One of the machines has this metal cover pictured. It has two 6/32 HEX screws that connect to the case. The second machine I have unfortunately was missing this metal cover as seen in the...

Hi all, I hope this message finds you well. I've recently acquired this Zenith 386 320S - but have not been able to find literally any information about it online. I know the previous owner upgraded the motherboard and the ISA cards - but the power supply and floppy drives are original. Not...
