Compaq DeskPro 286e |
| When I got this one it was
pretty scruffy it had got sticky kids hand marks all over
it. The release button for the 5.25" floppy drive
was missing and the 3.5" floppy drive didn't work,
which turned out to be because one of the heads was bent
out of alignment. Fortunately I managed to straighten the
head as the disk drive was different to any that I had
got, and I made a button for the 5.25" floppy which
got it all going again. Although this has got a push
button release 5.25" floppy the disk doesn't
automatically lock in, you have to press the button when
you have put the disk in to lock it in. It has got a memory expansion board in it which gave it 2MB of memory and I added another 4MB card to the expansion board to bring it up to 6MB. It is installed with MS DOS 6.0, Windows 3.1. Xtreegold and Lotus Works release 1.0. This has a converter card on the 3.5" floppy drive with a 34 pin card edge connector & a 4 pin power connector on the computer side and a 26 pin ribbon type connector on the drive side so the power is fed through the ribbon as well as the data. Since I got this CPU I have got hold of a Compaq monitor model no. 420 and a Compaq Enhanced 11 keyboard which makes it look like more of a set. |
