Hello
Well, OK, here it is:
The mother board is a card that plugs into a slot board fixed to the
bottom of the zenith's case. The slot board has eight slots on it, three of
them are system slots, meaning you can't plug in ISA cards in to them.
In order from left to right looking in from the front of the computer the
slots go as follows:
five eight bit ISA slots,
then three system slots,
mother board, then vidio board then flopy controller board.
The cards have to remain in this order.
The mother board has the keyboard plug on it and the case has a hole in
it for the keyboard plug.
The vidio card has the CGA conecter on the back of it and a round
purtruding plug or socket on the back of it also.
The flopy controller has two 25 pin serial ports on the back of it.
The system slots these three cards are pluged in to look like the regular
eight bit ISA slots, except for the case allows for a 13 and some inche
card instead of the normal 12.5 inch length card. also where the tongue
plate goes in the back of the case the tongue slots are about one inch
taller then the five ISA slot tongue plate slots.
When I try to boot the zenith I get a line or two of characters across the
midle of the screen, and that's it.
I may need a setup disk for it or some thing, I don't know.
I have a plus hardcard 40 I can put in it.
It is a 40 MB hard drive built on an 8 bit ISA card.
Also I would like to add memory to it if I ever get it working, now it has
640 K ram.
and two 360 K flopys and uses an AMD 8088 CPU.
I would also like to plugin an 8087 math co processor.
I am not sure what I can do about the drives yet, I geus when I accumulate
more parts I can try adding a 3.5 inch flopy.
Pete
