Compaq Deskpro Part 4: The home stretch! MFM hard drive, keyboard and monitor

Part 4: And we are done! In this video I will bring the Seagate ST-251 MFM hard drive back to life. I will show how I fix a stretched out and limp coiled keyboard cable and we'll do further testing of the Compaq video adapter in these old machines along with the Compaq Dual Mode Monitor.
