Custom LED colors (blue, green, red), custom caps lock LED color (blue)
Trivia
The original owner tried to mount a Gotek drive, but did a poor job cutting out the drive bezel, ruining the original case.
Machine was heavily yellowed.
It came with a Marpet Developments M1207 Expansion that provides up to 8MB RAM, RTC, and an FPU slot. It was equipped with a 4MB DIMM. An 8MB DIMM is on storage, but it would interfere with the PCMCIA slot.
Restauration Works
Right and middle mouse buttons did not work. Fixed by replacing E353R, E354R, E363R, E364R with ferrite beads.
Replaced the damaged original case with a black replica case.
Replaced all electrolytic capacitors with Panasonic (up to 10,000h lifetime) or Würth Elektronik (up to 5,000h lifetime) ones.
Replaced the floppy drive with a CenturionTech GOEX on pills floppy simulator + OLED display
Replaced the hard drive with a SD to IDE adapter and a raiser board that fixes the “LED always on” issue.
Replaced the original LED board with custom made LEDs (HDD: red, FDD: green, Power: blue).
Extended the system with HDMI output.
E123C and E125C (turbo expansion stability fix) were not populated, no need to take action.
Replaced many missing screws.
