Three years ago, I tried to repair this cursed vintage PC — the Canon A-200EX II HD20 — and failed. This time, I’m back to restore this rare 286 computer and finally figure out why its MFM hard drive refused to work. The breakthrough came unexpectedly while troubleshooting another vintage IBM PC. A small clue from that repair completely changed how I approached the Canon, and this time I finally found the fault. But the restoration doesn’t stop there. I’m also building a Sound Blaster 1.0 replica, a recreation of one of the most iconic pieces of vintage PC hardware for a retro computer that deserves it. Join me for another deep dive into vintage computer restoration, retro PC repair, MFM hard drives, IBM PC compatibles, 286 computers, DOS-era hardware, and vintage PC mods.
