5150 & 720 KB FD

Think I found the problems.... Machine #2 (the one I'm rebuilding) had its DIP's set for a single drive. After correcting that, still failed to work, so decided to check out the 720 itself... AH HA! Of course it wouldn't work. It was a dead drive. As for the purist out there who shudder at the thought of adding later components to such a classic, I should mention that I'm an astronomer. I don't have the systems as collectibles, I use them. Yup, that's right... when you're on a budget, you have to make everything work. This ol' PC is basically just going to serve as a real time clock. With CGA monitors they are good for that... Better that then have it go to the landfill (as is too often the case...)
