I picked up a Magnavox/Phillips HeadStart 300 for one dollar at a garage sale. Does anyone know where i could find any information on it (manuals, pinouts, etc)
All i know about it is that it is a 286 and runs at 12.5MHz. It does work, but since the hard drive that was in it (size is unknown, but i know that it is less than 100MB...) was dead, and the 3.5" floppy didn't work (and i didn't have a bootable 5.25 disk [yes, it had one of them, too]), i couldn't boot to an OS.
I did find this site; https://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/P/PHILIPS-CONSUMER-ELECTRONICS-CO-286-HEADSTART-SERI.html but that is not nearly enough information for me.
Any info would be helpful!
