You cant put anything in the 140/145/170 outside of that series. I tried my 160/165 daughter card, and they are physically different. Wont plug into motherboard.
Anyway, Its a parts machine. ive scavanged everything i could to peice together my 160. the 165 is all busted up so i took its daughter card and made a PB160 franken165. So it has the HDD/Floppy of the 145, the daughter card of the 165 and the plastics/LCD of the 160. the PB145 also had its rear cover still and the power adapter. So that fit nicely with the franken165.
The 145 was in nice shape, but as soon as i took it apart, the plastic standoffs just fell apart all over it.
The 145 I had concluded the LCD Timing ASIC had failed. I had valid data being pumped into the IC during video refresh, but nothing coming out to the panel. The panel was only displaying what was stored randomly in its registers. (verified against my 160 ASIC).
