Date codes seem to be 1998. Relative asked me to help dispose of this computer. Is this of interest to anybody who can pick up at a Baltimore or NJ workshop or Bethesda MD? Its in a generic white case. Couldn't see any identifier on the motherboard. Chips dated 98. I powered it on and got beeps but no video though using VGA to HDMI adapter that I don't know if works. I can do better testing and if it runs enough find out what processor etc it has if someone is interested. I will either need to wipe the drives or remove them. Somewhat dirty but I can remove the worst of it. Didn't see any obvious cap/battery damage but didn't do that much inspection. Email me directly if of interest.
Sorry didn't include motherboard picture link. http://www.pdp8online.com/misc/computer.jpg On Thu, Jun 12, 2025 at 05:13:08PM -0400, David Gesswein via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

Hello! The beep code David might mean something, but I'm not an SIS motherboard expert. The photo you offered showed me that legend on one of them. I'm in NYC so I can't help but offer advice only. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature was still fighting the timewars, Time and again."

Okay, so that is a "Super Socket 7" board, likely with an AMD K6-2 CPU of some speed. A solid option for Win9x gaming, especially since it has an AGP slot. On Thu, Jun 12, 2025 at 5:16 PM David Gesswein via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
