ReConquest out of my PM 4400/200

Posted by: Ike on 2013-12-22 15:09:38 I was given the 4400 for free a while back. The previous owner said it was being used as an ISDN-Server at his work. Now I tested and completely cleaned the 4400 when I got it, but I was very busy around that time, so I put it back together and never really got to use it. I assumed the card in the Comm-II-Slot was the ISDN card that he spoke of, never bothered to take a closer look at it. So then I came across this nice little NIC! Just to see what really was inside the machine at this moment, I decided to take it apart... and I then saw a very familiar card... Now that was a very nice surprise! The card was an Ethernet card after all! Also found it that it had the maximum of 32+64+64=160MB's of RAM! Time to get the "sharp-as-heck-metal-parts-filled-cheap-obscure-pc-parts-power-macintosh-beast" on the net! By the way, I found a little port near the video dimm on the very side of the logic board that is labelled "GIMO", I'm very curious what that is for, does anyone happen to know that? Sorry, whole lot of text about nothing, just felt exited enough to let you know.

Posted by: finkmac on 2013-12-22 16:04:21 The PC compatibility card uses the GIMO port for A/V, like unity said.
