I had a old AMD K6 II 350mhz system that I put on the side a while ago. I'm now looking to revive the system for my daughter.
Hardware O = original N = New
Shuttle HOt 591p motherboard ---- O
AMD K6II 350 CPU -------------------- O
128mb PC100 SDRAM ---------------- O
40mb 5400 Hard drive --------------- N
CD-ROM 52x ------------------------- N
1.44mb 3.5 floppy drive ---------- ???
10/100t NIC ---------------------------- N
56K .V90 modem ---------------------- O
AGP 8mb video card ------------------- O
USB card --------------------------------- O
I start the system checks drives and the 3.5 doesn't respond.
Checked the cables on that drive by re-seating.
Had the cable backwards on drive because the drive light stayed on---> according to a webpage. No light at all now. No beeps during boot. Never makes it to bios. Screen never shows activity, checked on different systems "it''s old but it works".
CD-Rom and Hard Drive both seem happy and responding.
10/100t light also seems to indicate operating properly.
I'm really stuck on making a decission continue chasing this system or replace motherboard, cpu, 3.5, .....
Thanks
Danny
