Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:25:12 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ Those power these two boards (with room for a third, missing on this model)
This one is the MMR Input Converter, ASSY 70395. 8-channels. -
Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:25:12 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ So it's got a separate power supply inside the case, plugged into a splitter on the power button line. (which, on an AT system, carries the full AC wall voltage)
It provides ±18v at half an amp. -
Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:25:11 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ The back panel has two PCBs.
The top one is a Parallel Remote board, ASSY 70374It's got 4 of these UCN6821A 8-channel line drivers.

Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:25:11 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ And the floppy drive is a TEAC FD-235HF, one of the most common models of 3.5" floppy disk drives.
-
Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:25:11 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ And an MMR Output Converter, ASSY 70372.
-
Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:25:10 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ The power supply is a US Power SP2-4200F, a 200 watt AT supply.
But modified to have a different connector for the front power switch, so it can be branched off to the other power supply. -
Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:25:10 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ Then the bottom board is the MMR Rear Panel, ASSY 70389.
Left to right, we've got Transport, Editor, two Lynx ports, Timecode Out/In, MIDI thru/out/in, video out/in, and word clock out/in. -
Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:25:09 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ Doesn't seem to be any smarts on the board. Another of those UCN 5821A 8-channel drivers, and 5 Maxim MAX7219CWG LED drivers
-
Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:25:09 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ No chips on the other side. Just a bunch of buttons and LEDs. Interesting there's some spots for buttons that aren't present here.
-
Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:25:09 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ So the front panel. There's three PCBs.
The big one is the 8 TRK FP-70311, which the other two little ones connect to. -
Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:25:08 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ and the MMR Transport SW, ASSY 70392.
I think these are combination buttons/lights. -
Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:25:08 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ Other two boards:
first an MMR Headphone Monitor, Assy 70396 -
Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:25:06 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ So yeah. That's the box! I'll plug in my archive box and try to dump the drive later.
-
Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:24:59 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ okay I dumped the hard drive
it's DOS 6.22
was not expecting that.
-
Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:24:58 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ also I think I was wrong about these memory sticks: they're 16mb each, not 32mb.
So it it's 48mb fully loaded, not 96mb. -
Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:24:57 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ I got bored and decided to yoink the BIOS EPROM.
It's an Award PCI/PNP 586 bios, ©1997, S/N 108740192. -
Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:24:56 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ oh wow, the Award BIOS Logo format is WEIRD. it has a size defined in "characters". So, like, this image is 136x84, but is stored as 17x6, because it's 17 characters wide by 6 tall.
And it's got COLOR ATTRIBUTES! You can only use one color per cell, because this is technically a TEXT MODE! -
Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:24:56 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ interestingly it has a 32kb rom embedded in it, for the SCSI controller, which isn't on-board. It's for the PCI SCSI adapter

Foone🏳️⚧️ (foone@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 02:24:48 UTC Foone🏳️⚧️ I lit up some of the buttons using a bench power supply. Nice glow! I wonder if they're incandescent?
