Thanks to all of you for giving me this warm welcome here. This is really touching my heart. You are an awesome community and reading trough your comments is motivating me extremely strong. I promise you don’t have to wait for further content. Cheers, your Peter.
Yes! Welcome back! Glad you are OK, and I am ready for more CPUs. It's always OK to take a break, I know putting these things together is a lot of hard work and we appreciate it.
Nice! The fact that the RTC chip still worked oddly makes me feel sorry for this little board. It's like it was still "alive", just sitting outside in the dirt and rain, and counting the days while it waited for death. Glad you saved it and gave it a second life!
yes, god knows, where it been, ended up, dumped on wasteland, how long it been there, rain, snow, flood many also, all that grime it was covered it, and then being wasted and scrubbed in the bath/shower, and then baked in an oven? it was still working keeping time too? and yet people old it stuff kept optimum storage, condition and the batteries explode, and eat away the motherboard, PCB's ?
This is one of my favourite YT channels. It's awesome that You are back for 2023. I've clicked on my CPU Galaxy bookmark just about every day over the last year.
Hi Peter, thanks for sharing this wonderful video. This is actually a SBC, which was produced by Siemens for their Sicomp PC-32F line. The board has the part numver Siemens W263361-D674-Z4-09-5. On Ebay US there is currently an offer available that shows exactly the same board.... just 950 bucks... seems you found a real treasure in the wood! Cheers Ralf
Siemens has used similar boards in their PCD-line. I think they made a design, that could be used in industrial as well as personal PCs. SIEMENS NIXDORF PWS M70 4gsx/25 on Ebay has the same CPU board. The rare (small desktop) PCD-4Bsx might have had the same board as well.
@@john_ace That's right. I can remember me, that this Board was also in a SIEMENS NIXDORF PCD-4T Tower. On the Pins near by the ISA Slot, was a Graphics Extension Board,.
Dear Peter, I am happy to see you here again. Very cool content all the time I must say. Good to see how is everything done by you, I like it very much! Thank you. Michal
I've been waiting for this video for almost a year! I was afraid that this channel was abandoned. How glad I can hear your voice again and watch the most interesting videos! Good job my friend!
Welcome back! I was worried to be honest. I'm pretty sure our reasons for having a bad year are very similar. Probably those problems are still ongoing, but I'm glad, that you found some time to make a video, this usually helps me for a moment too.
Frohes Neues, meine Herren! Here's an idea for both of y'all if you're up to it: see if you can source DCP, which is MS-DOS but Made in DDR. I haven't found anything where I could download e.g. DCP 3.3 (which is the equivalent to DOS 3.3) and run it at least on PCem. Even more fun would be to find DCP and an XT compatible of the VEB Robotron-Systems, like the EC1834, which ran on the Soviet 8086 clone K1810WM86 (or K1810VM86 outside of Germany).
@@bundesautobahn7 I installed DCP 3.3 on PCem, on a type 2 hard drive (20MB 615 cylinders, 4 heads, 17 sectors per track) For the floppy drive you must use a mainboard that supports 1.2MB 5.25" drives, I think all 286 and higher that PCem emulate support 1.2MB drives, I used the Award 286 clone, i can give you a copy of the disk images but the big brother may censor the address so I'll try camouflaging it a bit: mega DOT nz SLASH file SLASH v4BxlLpa#zCPsU-Ccr3HDXnlihNm49EJQptIUvAvHixRLl5CA_uc I think I installed it more or less OK but I don't speak German, I can only understand a few common words and phrases after years of buying things from Germany and Austria on eBay... I could have used Google Lens to get an instant translation but it was more exciting to get it installed on the first try whithout cheating 😉 There is a free program called SAMdisk that allows you to convert disk images from TeleDisk and many other formats to raw or various other formats, but the Windows version only works on 32-bit Windows 2000 and later, I used Windows 2000 which I had installed in a virtual machine.
For those of located in North America, would love to see more specifics about how you did the cleaning and what is in those chemicals being used. Also would like to know how long you dried in oven at what temp, etc. Great video, the 486SX-25 was the first PC my family had in their home growing up.
I am always surprised at the resilience of PCBs. As long as they are not corroded, they just seem to clean up so well. It's a wonderful result and it works very well. It's nice to see you again after such a long time. I hope that you have overcome the challenges of the past year. I always checked my subscription list to see if there was a new video from your channel and finally one has arrived 👍😊
Wow. Just a few days ago I was looking at the channel and noting there was no content for a year, and here you are back! You were missed. Welcome back!
I remember about 10 years ago cleaning out a office space at a industrial steel mill they had tons and tons of these upgrade chips that they threw away
Great to see you back and that you brought that crusty board back to life! The world is full of gaming devices all over, all you have to do is give them to the right person to clean them up and make them run.
Glad to see you back! Old Swiss Made Renata batteries from second half of 1990s 'till early 2000s still work well enough to power RTCs. Some old motherboards Made in Ireland (sic!) use them, and they still work well and reliably.
Great find, and great piece of old hardware. Fun fact, where I am from, it is still January 5th, so this is like video from the future from my point of view :D
CPU Galaxy and Peter is back! 🎉 Again with the magic ingredients for a wonderful video: Repairing/ Cleaning a PCB, Bios entries, boot screens, DOS benchmarking, retro games and his Austrian accent! Greats from Germany!
Seeing this board working again is wonderful! In the end that takes me back as my first PC was a 486 DX2 66mhz with a Video7/Headland Technologies VGA chip onboard. Here's to a less challenging 2023 for you and to more great videos! :)
As a 46y who graduated high school in 1995 & started working for an integration company 3 months later, it actually makes me very sad to see hardware discarded like that. It was shocking how much dirt etc came off on the 1st rinse of water! Your restoration & cleaning was outstanding! It literally looks brand new!
My friend thank you for your dedication to preserving & sharing these priceless pieces of history! You & I recognize how incredibly important that history & the stories behind each part is to how we got to where we are today! You're doing a wonderful & noble thing!
Really happy to see you back in action! It was super satisfying to see all the dirt and grime being washed away from that board. Really amazing that an RTC module from 1992 still kept the correct date - I've never seen that happen before either. Even much newer ones are usually dead! Really neat system and great that it was saved 👍
Looks like a Siemens PCD-series (PCD-4...?) CPU card. The PCD-series had such CPU-boards until Siemens decided to make a more integrated LPX format board with most components on a mainboard. The connectors above the ISA-slot would either contain a graphics card in the newer systems or an MFM-contoller in the older systems. I have a WD graphics card and two et4000 cards for that connector. The ET4000 are for use in an Atari TT with a VME-adapter (nearly the perfect size).
I'm so glad to see you're back and still doing ok. Was already worried something might have happened when you went silent. And you're starting the year off with a really nice find. I have a special faible for industrial boards, and quite a few of them around from that era. As you recognized right, the long pin header goes directly to the ISA slot and was intended for a VGA add-on board, making this into a two-slot sandwich. Unfortunately, those cards are really rare as not long after, PC104 became established and replaced them.
I got about 15-20 FPS on my AST 486 SX 25 but not in the later levels with hundreds of enemies. The trick is the AST did have cache I believe and on-board video, which might have been connected via a 32 bit bus. That thing was crappy as hell in terms of raw speed, but it did the trick for Doom at the time.
Great job cleaning that up! Came out very well! Always interesting to watch anything your show on your channel, and glad you are back! Have a great 2023!
I cant believe that battery still works after all those years of sitting, it is cool that one can get a computer on a card setup, sure made for a good upgrade too way faster
Always nice to see a video from you. Here's hoping 2023 will only bring good challenges. What a great find, a lovely industrial board. SX 25 just like my first 486 :)
Glad your back. I love the channel and when YT told me that a new video was up. That feeling of hot dam went through me (I am sure as it did with everyone here) and so glad you not only found this sweet find but also shared with us the before and after restoration and upgrade of this single card machine. Have a good one.
Heey, glad you're back - you've been missed! :) Very nice board, too. I'm fairly sure I've seen this before, maybe in a Siemens industrial PC? We had a bunch of those in a factory I worked at in the 90s. In any case, glad you could save it! Industrial PCs are a soft spot to me, always happy to see them restored.
Great to see you back! As for the memory bandwidth, it’s very high for a 486 without L2 cache. The memory actually performs as fast as my overclocked 486dx2-66@83MHz, without any other memory optimization! So it’s a very nice board! Hope to see more of your videos soon!
Awesome cleanup job, upgrade, and pairing with the sound and video cards. I got one of those industrial boards that uses PCI and ISA. I have not tried to test it because it literally has about 20 bad caps on it. I haven’t gotten the courage to take it on yet as I know it will be a time consuming repair and I’ve never tried testing a board like this.
Hey nice to see you back with this beautiful board. Can't belive how nicely it works, including the delicate upgrade socket that was litterally covered in filth... And the RTC chip, working and Y2K compliant. Wow. These things are rock-solid and were made to keep on working, whatever they were doing. And now a nice retirement in your collection, playing DooM ;) Many of her siblings didn't have this chance :(
I was somewhat impressed by the RTC too... although tbh it's not rocket science... But still, compare to how electronics are done today, full of DRM and other software cr*p to make sure they stop working as soon as some company decides...
Welcome back, Peter! That BIOS is pretty interesting, it looks almost like an Award BIOS for 286 computers in the POST screen, but the setup would have to be on a black screen and not in colour. Plus it looks like you enter the BIOS with STRG-ALT-INS, when the aforementioned Award BIOS would require STRG-ALT-ENTF instead. The curious thing: We had a 486 DX2-66 in a Colani-Tower from Highscreen, and the Award BIOS there was far different from the one on this single board system. At least this system is now in caring hands. And please tell good ol' Österreich I said "Hi". It's been over 30 years since I was last in Austria and would like to visit again some day.
I was so very happy to see this video, you have so many interesting cpu in your collection an i couldn't way to see what new cpu you would show.. I was worried something bad had happened.
So happy to see this new video! You have one of my very favorite channels, and I have wondered often when you would return. I just finished Doom to kick off this year of its 30th anniversary. It was nice to do more than just bench with it after so long. Like many, it was my excuse to move on from a 386SX-25 to a 486SX-33, and claim it was for work /productivity. Cheers, and hope for a better year.
Beautifully done! As I said on Twitter, absolutely gorgeous clean up job. Thanks for giving this ol' guy a new, fresh, lease on life. Here's hoping 2023 is less stressful for ya.
Hallo und willkommen zurück! Die Bestückung und das Design des Boards kamen mir extrem vertraut vor, da es meinem Siemens PCD-4H ähnelt und wie man an der Kennung unterhalb des IDE Ports sieht, ist es in der Tat ein Siemens Board mit hervorragender Qualität! Das BIOS ist vom Aufbau und Verhalten ähnlich zum PCD-4H. Das ist ein wirklich nettes Stück Hardware, was im Netz zu 4-stelligen Preisen angeboten wird.
A bit late but very good to see you back! Your videos are always some of the best around for old tech. Always love seeing the benchmarks and the cool boards and setups you find and create.
Thanks to all of you for giving me this warm welcome here. This is really touching my heart. You are an awesome community and reading trough your comments is motivating me extremely strong. I promise you don’t have to wait for further content. Cheers, your Peter.
Hope you are doing well!
your passion and love for what you do is truly inspiring
So glad you're back, seeing a new upload from you made me smile.
Glad to hear you are well! I love your videos and it's great to see a new one...1 month or 1 year apart, it does not matter! Welcome back! ✌️
Yes! Welcome back! Glad you are OK, and I am ready for more CPUs. It's always OK to take a break, I know putting these things together is a lot of hard work and we appreciate it.
I'm really glad see you are back and doing OK! I have missed your awesome videos.
Thanks Adrian!
Nice! The fact that the RTC chip still worked oddly makes me feel sorry for this little board. It's like it was still "alive", just sitting outside in the dirt and rain, and counting the days while it waited for death. Glad you saved it and gave it a second life!
@Pedro Daniel Lopes Ferreira hope they eventually come all together and fight for their rights.
yes, god knows, where it been, ended up, dumped on wasteland, how long it been there, rain, snow, flood many also, all that grime it was covered it, and then being wasted and scrubbed in the bath/shower, and then baked in an oven? it was still working keeping time too? and yet people old it stuff kept optimum storage, condition and the batteries explode, and eat away the motherboard, PCB's ?
In Warhammer 40k, machines and computers aren't alive but they do have the machine spirit, and that little RTC was highly spirited indeed.
We Love you Peter. Glad you are back. I hope all is well and you and family are happy and healthy. Love always from a Canadian Fan!

Happy Nu Year! 💥💥💥
What a great start to 2023! Welcome back CG :-)
I have two things to state here:
1) Welcome back, Peter!
2) You can never go wrong playing DOOM in a UA-cam video. 😸😁
I got about 15-20 FPS on my AST 486 SX 25 but not in the later levels with hundreds of enemies.
The trick is the AST did have cache I believe and on-board video, which might have been connected via a 32 bit bus.
That thing was crappy as hell in terms of raw speed, but it did the trick for Doom at the time.
Yeah I don't know what they got wrong exactly.
DoomII ran perfectly well on SX/25 with built in Cirrus Logic, 16MB FP-ram.
Great job cleaning that up! Came out very well! Always interesting to watch anything your show on your channel, and glad you are back! Have a great 2023!
Looks like the board had the time of its life.. with all the glitter on it :D

Welcome back :) We've missed you. I hope personal/health issues are improving for you.
looking forward to more retro adventures
Nice. Now somebody wake up RetroSpector78.
Glad to see you back, that cleaning was very satisfying indeed, as was the upgrade.. great video!
Welcome back! That was quite a sorry state in the beginning. And then the correct date in the bios!

Welcome back, Peter, and thank you for sharing this heart-warming content!
Awesome to see you back, love your videos!
Great rescue! Just a note: the 3rd DIP switch has 25 labeled on top, and 33 below the row of switches.
thanks. yeah. i saw that after i habe done the video. lol. but during working on the board i did not realized it 😅
I am so happy that you are back and making videos again. I have really enjoyed your content. More than anything I am glad that you are ok.
Something like this would make a nice little retro pc kit.
Ahh, what a nice christmas present to see a video from you.
Hallo und willkommen zurück! Die Bestückung und das Design des Boards kamen mir extrem vertraut vor, da es meinem Siemens PCD-4H ähnelt und wie man an der Kennung unterhalb des IDE Ports sieht, ist es in der Tat ein Siemens Board mit hervorragender Qualität! Das BIOS ist vom Aufbau und Verhalten ähnlich zum PCD-4H. Das ist ein wirklich nettes Stück Hardware, was im Netz zu 4-stelligen Preisen angeboten wird.
A bit late but very good to see you back! Your videos are always some of the best around for old tech. Always love seeing the benchmarks and the cool boards and setups you find and create.
