Funny, I’m in the process of selling much of my Computer Reset pickings for cheap, including my 486DX4 100MHz that I ran Mario 64 compiled for DOS on. It ran at a blistering 3 frames per minute.

I’m leaning toward a short somewhere, since you said the PSU starts up with the paperclip but not when plugged in to the board.

I almost have an internal floppy drive also. It’s an internal Dell laptop drive that has a mini USB port for external use.

I actually found an A to A cable in my Big Box of Cables I Might Need One Day™ when trying to flash my Gotek floppy emulator with FlashFloppy firmware.

Another settlement needs our help. I’ll mark it on your map.

I’ve used it and dd-wrt back in the day on cheap crashy routers. Also Tomato.

Haven’t tried it in a long time, but have an EAP225 v2 and v3 I’ve been considering slapping openwrt on.
