bandit Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) Picked this up in Nov and did not work, which now it is, Had a CPU socket that used a screw to tighten Pins, also the power supply was out and the keyboard and floppy drive. Had the parts, so running fine, BUT There was a Cut out at floppy, and Power out on back ? Has anyone seen this cutout before ? I Did a bunch back in late 90's to replace the drive, but this is ? Cleaned up nice. Edited January 6, 2023 by bandit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oracle_jedi Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 My first guess was some sort of CF card reader might have been installed, but internal HDs on those STs are not simple to pull off, so my second guess is that someone ran the 34 pin floppy ribbon cable out of the side of the computer to a second floppy that sat on top, powered externally. Its a clean cut though. Very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandit Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 Yes, the slot will fit a CF card, And the power tap inside to the back could power something. The Slot is a very clean cut, I never was able to get it like that .. Floppy cable also, maybe a Gotek external .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
