Minnesota Retro Tech Club Free Table Gets:

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

@Seg You know it's an old battery when it came from the 15th century. :-)

(Yeah, I realise it's the 14th week of 1992.)
