PB 286 parts found

I picked up a PB 286 at the town transfer station (that's town dump for those
who live in less snobbish towns) Saturday. It was pretty much stripped, but I
did pull the 286 motherboard, riser card, and ST-238R RLL hard drive. The CPU
is a 12MHz AMD 286. I also kept the wire leads to the motherboard with their
LEDs and keyboard connector. PB was one of the earliest brand names to use a
South Korean assembler and/or parts clearly Korean... Ben Myers

Neato!

Was the case destroyed ? (I note that you pulled the parts)

Was the Seagate drive connected to the motherboard, or a RLL contoller ?

How much memory, or was it gone ? SIPP's, DIPs, or SIMMs ?

Ha ha Just like my Hyundai Elantra....

No memory on the motherboard as far as I could tell. The Seagate was cabled
directly to the mobo. The case was not in super shape. Then there is the
kinky old PB power supply with its single connector, instead of the old AT
standard pair... Ben Myers

OK, but what type of mem did it use ?
Simms, SIPPs, or DIP's ?
( I'm betting SIMMS. )

Interesting......I don't think I have ever seen that.
I *do* have an old 286 moboard with an IDE connector. Which I think is
pretty rare. But an RLL connector is really interesting.

Neato.
