A 286 board with a 20 MHz Harris CPU from the scrapyard! The board I try to restore is compact and has SIMM sockets! It would be a shame if this board would go to waste - unfortunately, there seem to be a few obstacles in the way. I hope you can help me figure out what is wrong with this board!
Thank you @tony359 for trying to help!
