Video Description

We have two Macintosh motherboards that were found in "left for dead" Macs that were reportedly completely rusted and destroyed. Both of these motherboards have period correct add-on RAM expansion cards which can introduce many more variables into getting the motherboards working again. Watch to see if I can get these two motherboards working again!
