Looking forwards to hear how it goes with the 5160. Looks like you found yourself another inboard :)

Hi Mike. I had a couple of blob like solder points on the Simms joints. Silly mistakes from soldering quick and without wearing glasses. Other than that the Piggyback board works great.

Thank you. I added some more information to make it as clear as possible.

The Bar Code definitively reads 0154998, probably not traceable to any useful info that can reveal a date. One of the pictures, the one with the empty case has a 'ComputerLand' sticker, looks like there is a date printed on topI , maybe that can give you a sense to date the PC. Also I found...

I was also confused about the TH99 instructions on the MiniMicro4 FD controller so I made the document again for my own records. Any mention in the document to Drives A, B, C D, is to flag how the drives are detected in my system. Not sure if that is the same for everyone. Maybe this is of use...

Just noticed that one of the capacitors (I think Tantalum) in the Daughter Board of the Intel Above Board looks rather larger than the others in the board. The fat one is the one located on top in the image. Has any one noticed the same; normal or is this a sign that isn’t going to pop anytime?

….solved. Thanks to Harrison for his help and guidance. Problem was poor soldering in a couple of places. Fixed and Memory is now detected

I see Thanks, any idea what it might see all the the RAM as Bad memory?

Thanks for sharing, Can you let me know what do you mean by ‘Pimping’? I am willing to try anything that might work In my case the inboard program seems to detect the RAM, and runs through the diagnosis, but the retrieves all the RAM as Bad,… I find rather odd that all 8 memory modules are...

Pics of the build and the memory modules

Well ,..finished putting the board together, and I can’t see anything wrong with the assembly but getting 100% error on memory. No matter if I select the 2mb or 4 mb jumper option (see pics attached) looks like all memory is diagnosed with issues. Could it really be that all memory modules are...

Perfect, Thanks… I meditate for a month trying to gather the focus to drill a hole in this beauty

That is perfect! Thanks for clarifying, I will go for it!. I do not realy eed a Ferrari like tool for this, a Fiat Punto will more that do the job and keep my pocket happy.

Th Thanks Chuck(G), really helpful. I do not see explicitly mentioned that this tool is compatible with the 4 Pin Molex connector parts 60617, 60618, 60619, and 60620, but I guess these should be also covered to as per the type of crimp and the wire sizing (AWG 18-24)? Just want to make sure I...

Thank you All, this input and views are extremely useful!. I am clear on the cables sizes now and why there are different size numbers for the Make and Female pins. What about the crimping tools; does anyone uses any other models for this job than the ones Jafir kindly shared above (91504 and...
