386 DX - EATX Build

Updated: Nov 25, 2023

Picking up from 80386 DX Build (rehsdonline.com), I am transitioning my 386 DX build to an EATX form factor, incorporating changes up to this point. This will be a running blog post, so check back for updates.


I start by getting the upper and lower PCBs connected with a pair of EuroDin connections. I also check how the PCBs will fit the EATX chassis that I am using.


Next, I prepare the upper PCB with capacitors, resistors, sockets, and power connectors.


I next populate the sockets.


First power on... no smoke.


Code running successfully, and using the Teensy-based debugger...


Versatile Interface Adapter (VIA) running...


SPI running...


VGA output and CLK2=24 MHz, CLK=12 MHz...


Priority interrupt controller (PIC) and an Arduino Nano to support keyboard and mouse...


IDE controller and FreeDOS loading...
