Default Semi-neat trick for sealing 5C collets

I can't get the OEM mobo to recognize a HDD. I replaced it with one that

find a 486 mobo with an ISA slot where I need it for the riser card. At
a price I'm willing to pay anyway, Omni wants something like $600 for a
mobo, and even on ebay most that will work for me run a couple hundred.
Maybe a better solution would be to cable all the connections outside
the box so I can use a standard computer in a mini-tower. That frees me
up to use most any mobo.


I think I still have a 486 box out in the garage. Send me a picture of your MB so I can
tell if my old board would fit your machine. If so, I'll send you the thing. Not like I
want to fire it up again to run a 12 year old version of Caldera again. Well, I might
just once to see if the board still works.
