Compaq SLT286 and DS1287 RTC

June 20, 2023

I have two of Compaq’s first laptops the, SLT286. One of them I “ruined” a while ago while trying to replace the Dallas RTC chip. I wasn’t careful enough and ended up with some broken traces and destroyed pads. In this video I attempt to fix the old one and try out my DS1287 replacement modules.

Below are the images of where the DS1287 pins connect on the SLT286

Proud Hoosier. I grew up pretty poor and never got to play much with tech until I went to college. Since then, I've done a lot with tech like programming, building electronics and obviously my own systems. I'm getting into all the stuff I missed as a kid. Army Guard and Navy vet, law school grad with no license nor do I want one. 46 with no kids. Is that good or bad?
