that is some.ancient hardware. 200 euro is kland insanely high price. :-/

your “internet connector” is an arcnet network card - not much used to you, but quite a cool little heirloom.

assuming the memory is not soldered, you can swap out SIMMs (like 30 pin), or DIPs/ZIPs if you can even find them. you may have some fun trying to bring this PC back from the dead, but that price is insane for an ancient box in poor shape. good luck.

Around where I live thats a pretty okay deal for these machines, especially considering I also got the original Commodore PC Keyboard which on its own is worth around 100€ here.

The memory does seem sodered in. Reading trough forums, I did find a potential issue, that being the battery. Seems rather krusty to me, and they are known to cause these types of issues and errors

The filecard seems to be only cinnected via its slot and for some reason 2 cables for the lights at the front of the machine.

Still doesnt boot even after taking everything. Though I did order a new battery which probably will fix it
