MadskpThanks again. I now have a repaired and working Beomedia.
Great to hear 🙂
I took a ghost image of the installation and also a copy to another hard disk for back-up, upgraded the RAM to 1GB and put a larger 500gb SATA hard drive inside the unit, using an IDE to SATA converter. If you get Microsoft DART V5 you can create a bootable USB and use Ghost 11.5 to make a copy of the installation.
Thanks for the input. I might look into putting an SSD in to it instead. I think there is some inspiration in some Beosound 5 threads about preparing the SSD for correct allignment.
If yours is the same main board as mine, look at this manual for power supply options: https://theretroweb.com/motherboard/manual/um-epia-mii-162-63cd39724e43c965057015.pdf
Nice. I also came up with another idea to use an ATX extender cable and just move the existing power supply to another location in the case (it will need some sort of mounting bracket) as there is lots of space in the case
Ironically there is no reason the whole system could not be ported to a different PC.
I had the same thought. The connections you were i doubt of is digital sound, so a motherboard with that will be needed. Also there might be some drivers issues, but I wonder if it is more or less like a PCI version of the Beoport which has prooven to work under windows 10, and therefor should be possible to use in anothjer system. But that is a test for another time
