okay there we are the bracket has been transferred all right flipping this drive over i had said originally that i was going to take off these four jumper blocks and run the jumper wires over to these four pins here so that external terminator block would work i decided not to do that at this time for testing ideally i'd like to replicate the way it was on the other board with a wire wrap tool i actually need to buy a wire wrap tool i've been meaning to buy one for the longest time i actually have some wire wrap but then i can replicate the exact thing as opposed to say soldering some wires although i suppose i could just use little push on leads dupont type things those are so flaky though they just aren't good in the long term so wire wrap would be ideal so for now i'm just going to leave it with the jumpers so it's going to be solid and reliable and i just won't be able to plug anything in to the back of the computer if i want to add external disk drives but i don't plan on doing that anytime soon we're now looking at the base plate that holds the entire thing together it's like the chassis of the model NUMBER_TOKEN. and i know it's got a little bit ugly but there was some corrosion on this as well and i did paint it with a little brush with the rust converter black paint which is what's going on here i'll say again that i'm fully aware that a full restoration of this machine would involve taking this thing completely apart and sandblasting this metal getting it powder coated you know the whole nine yards but again i just want to put this computer back together and have a working machine and some paint inside here is not going to affect anything in a negative fashion and what it will do is stop further corrosion from happening not to mention when this thing is fully reassembled you're not even going to barely see this paint any longer there's also something i didn't mention when i took this apart and this little dent right here is a sign of what this computer has been through i think this machine was actually dropped and as the disk drive sits right here it's clearly the heaviest thing in this machine when it was dropped it kind of bent the entire bottom chassis quite a bit after i took this computer apart and i was just looking at this base plate i noticed that the entire crt assembly was quite bent as well so i kind of hammered it back into shape a little bit these dents are still here from the floppy drive i don't think that's going to cause any kind of issue but i think this entire base plate is in better shape now than it was when i took the computer apart but one horrible side effect of that is it had actually tweaked the card cage that was holding all the various cards and it had the side effect of really damaging this top slot notice the gap on this top slot looks bigger than all the other slots so i think this slot is actually broken so when i squish it with my fingers it moves and when i do that on these other ones that doesn't happen at all so i have a feeling it snapped all the way along here although i don't really see any damage on the outside it just looks like there may be a problem here
