Speaking of the 5162, anyone happen to have just the motherboard for this? I have a near complete machine, sans motherboard. Long story short machine was taken apart round 12 years ago to be cleaned like new again. Just got my hands on it from a bank I worked at (was the machine hooked up to the financial transaction database and general ledger). Somehow I ended up moving not 2 weeks after getting it, owner of the townhouse I lived in passed away, and the wife wanted to sell the house... Anyways in that move I lost a few boxes of stuff sadly. To this day still don't know what happened to em. *shrugs. Among the items where that motherboard and my disney sound source and a few other weird goodies. =(
ATM I use a 3rd party 286 motherboard with a 386sx in it (desoldered old chip, soldered on laptop 16mhz 386 QFP w/ homemade protoboard adapter so the pitch spacing matched) running at 8mhz (1/2 speed, changed crystals), but its just not the same...
Why would I do all that work to a 286? Simple, win 3.0/3.11 and ability to run 32 bit software
That and I got 2 of these motherboards for the price of 1. Not 4 years ago, you couldnt give away a 286 on ebay, let alone a 386sx. Everyone wanted 386dxs. Now even the 386sx's have raised in price. :S
Now if I can get a board for a REASONABLE price, I even have a 286 to 486 upgrade sitting here taken from a 286 ps/1 (from a dead 8560 I got from a member on here, ty again!). Shame... Be fun to own a real XT thats a 486 SLC/50. ( Ya Ya i know some of ya only consider the 5150/5160 real XTs, and this a glorified AT, but it still has XT badges so good enough for me).
So pretty please, anyone who has a board for this and is willing to part with it to a good home for a fair deal, msg me or post a response or w/e. Really love to get my hands on a board, even if its non working. Willing to repair one if necessary...
