i've been wanting a smol 8088 system for testing software compatibility and performance and this Toshiba T1000 is cool as hell

but they're all notorious basket cases by now and need recapping and repair

it has the EMS CARD!

indeed the battery, (a local replacement from 1992?) initially looked clean but its corroded ALL THE WAY UP THE WIRES and is starting to eat the board

cleaned it up best i could without stripping the board, you can run it off 5v on the battery connector if the DC/DC isn't shot but it is very much not functional right now

also snagged a Toshiba T4800CT

a pretty badass 486DX4/75 system with local bus video and WSS audio??

no soundblaster or FM chip so not an ideal DOS gaming system but i've seen few 486 laptops with audio at all

i really want to get this running

it just flashes a P41 error which is a main 12v bus undervolt

looks like its gonna be another power supply repair 🫡
