ZXnet

This machine has been in the collection for quite some time in a non-working state. Currently it is missing important hardware but otherwise seems to be in good condition. It has some random 2GB? laptop IDE hard disk and about 16MB of RAM installed.

Currently it is missing the following hardware:

• Floppy drive - The one currently installed appears to be dead. The belt that spins the disk (its not direct-drive) appears to be the problem.
• The stand that lets it run on its side. This improves its cooling - without it the multia tends to get a bit warm

In the 2020s I bought some RAM and a scrap multia motherboard that included the PCI Riser+SCSI controller, so this machine is now complete enough to at least attempt to run an OS. Its not entirely happy though - possibly a thermal problem of some kind. After a while it hangs and on reboot it doesn't POST at all - there is just a faint clicking from the PC speaker.
