@root42 Yeah... I don't think I'll be able to rescue it, though. The Varta bomb ate away a LOT of traces on both sides of the board. Certainly could be done with a lot of effort and dedication, I'm sure.

Look what came in the mail today. Another 386 board, this time with OPTi chipset, but it has the dreaded Varta bomb. I'll see if I can rescue it. #retrogaming #retrocomputing

Left this UV-EPROM in direct sunlight for a couple hours just as an experiment. No harm done, zero bits have been deleted... #retrocomputing

If you test mainboards on a regular basis, try this. Got this idea from @CpuGalaxy on Twitter. Thanks! #RetroComputing

Ever since the 'DF Retro' video by John Linneman on the Ridge Racer series, it felt like second-hand prices for these games were a tad elevated. Anyway, I finally got myself a copy for a decent price... yay! 😎

Took a photo of a user guide illustration of an old #Microsoft Mouse and added some effects in GIMP. I'm an artist now. 👨🏻‍🎨

Yes, of course it comes with its own controller. Supports up to 200 hz update rate!
