Yes I'm afraid I'll have to source a mainboard as well
I've really done EXTENSIVE research , but because of really minimal NiCD leaks on top of the bus controller, it seems some tracks are either shorted or behave completely wrong, I also believe part of the problem is UNDER those smds, and I think it's hopeless (but see below)
The board looks clean visually, but even after multiple washes, there is something wrong in something that can't be seen even with my microscope.
Some tracks look more green than gold (under the varnish), which doesn't seem right.
It's really a vicious fault, that really can't be seen, but it's dead (reports "NO KEYBOARD" error all the time, frustrating because apart from that it boots and works...).
But no keyboard
I'm giving up.
I will keep it for parts,
