Hello!
Is there s/o owning a 16kb variant of the 5150 or s/o who's seen it in
the wild? The first motherboard of the 5150 is often referred to as
the 16/64kb board. Was the 16kb variant of the 5150 without the fdd's
probably a configuration never released or was ist only very uncommon?
And if it was released: was it officially shiped to europe?
I don't know about Europe, but it was the minimum configuration
sold--you built onto it when purchasing it. I purchased mine as a 16KB,
and added onto it at the store (ComputerLand). As I recall, the base
16KB unit was about $1000 at stores.
