   Possibly some bad RAM, not in the range that DOS uses.  Try rearranging your   
   RAM chips (this will also clean the contacts) and see how far you get.   
      
   The turbo button is probably connected to one of the squarish connectors, it   
   is not used on "modern" motherboards.   
      
   The other wires inside probably go to LEDs or buttons on the case front, in   
   general these are not very important.
