@exxos wasn't one of those chips you removed to do with the PCI bus as they are all PCI cards

Its a super IO, but not sure it deals with the PCI bus.

Looks like keyboard, printer, serial, floppy, its on the ISA bus, so probably just a "built on" IO card I guess.

I just tried the S3 but no output. Would have thought the card would have given sync at least. But probably can't do much else until my new chips come :(

@exxos it's probably failing to get as far as the bus initialisation because of the missing chips.

Cool! BTW, there appears to be a later version of the boot block here: https://www.schwingen.org/files/milan/

Very nice!

That screwdriver must have landed on the EEPROM in just the right way to reprogram it with the bootblock at the top and no OS!
