I have removed the burnt-out motherboard from the tall tower and put the
motherboard from Mike in its place. At the moment, it has the motherboard,
3 hard drives of approx. 2GB apiece, a 24X CD-ROM drive, a 3.5" floppy
drive, a 5.25" floppy drive, and a tape drive.
I have not yet tried to turn it on because the three hard drives may be too
much for the 230-watt power supply; there aren't enough outlets for all of
them (and I don't have any splitters on hand). I have it running right now
with two power supplies.
At the moment, I am just testing the working parts for any defects. So far,
the only parts that are giving me problems are the second two hard drives
(both from the discarded boxes). All I need now is to find an AT power
supply of at least 300 watts...
