they were a thing. I certainly have no problem with gilded ram. I found
the thing at a vcf swap meet. No one else wanted it (?) so I snagged it.
Along with a no unnamed 5160 clone that to my amazement had a black IBM
p\s inside. Maybe I'll pull that mobo and insert Goldilocks.
Some eaarly 5150's had a black power supply, sometimes with a white
switch. My first 5150 (directly from IBM) had a black supply.
But, that was a 65W power supply, and for a 5160, especially if you put in
a hard disk, you want the 135W supply.
The stock (made by Xebec) 5160 hard drive controller supported two drives
of 5MB, 10MB (default), 16MB, and 26MB drives with unmarked jumper pad.
Any of those full height hard drives would be more than appropriate power
draw for the 65W power supply.
