I am not familiar with these computers but I recently got an Olivetti M21 because it's a very cool looking portable. It boots up to a certain point (stops at the NPU test) and then never goes further. This M21 does have an MFM hard drive (ST-225) and does some initial seeking, then that red light stays on until turned off. It has the Rev 1.36 ROMs and the AT&T 6300 has 1.43 ROMs (it also has a hard drive) but I don't have a monitor to see if it works.
As a test, can I add the keyboard connector to the 6300 motherboard and put it into the M21 straight up? I just want to see if the 6300 motherboard works and if it does, I can swap the ROMs and the PALs to see if that makes a difference.
Any help is much appreciated.
