About this video

Octek Hippo 15, a 486 mainboard built on the UMC8881 and UMC8886 chipset, gets a repair attempt, with documentation for the board linked.

Good to know: Soldering brings burns and fumes, and old solder contains lead.

Why watch it

Necroware describes the board as very fast and able to take every 486 CPU of its day, and says it came from a large donation for the channel.
