We cut the speaker wire after testing the PC. Steven wanted the panel with the reset button, etc. and somehow the speaker wire was connected to it or in the way.
I'm guessing "in the way", 'cause it looks like it may have been run through that unmarked pot on the topmost drive-bay cover, as a volume control.
Ok, so it really was every bit as dead as advertised then. Not that I was expecting otherwise, or worried about having been wrong. I think I have enough P/100 boxes to replace my remaining 486/66 machines, so I'm planning on making P/100 my new bottom-rung platform.
That power supply is going to be worth the whole effort of dismantling the machine, whether I re-use the case or not.
