Here's a good find for ya.. Today at the Local
Salvation Army store i
saw this huge IBM 5120 console machine on wheels. Its an Auto
Diagnostics station. Must weigh 500lbs easy, mounted on wheels with a
built in touch screen monitor.. I opened up the side panel on it and saw
a CDROM drive, UPS, Some sort of cartridge drive and hard drive.. It had
30 or 40 cdroms (Auto tech data) and all the manuals for it. Looking at
the manuals it appears to be an XT type machine.
Did you grab it? If not, do! You can leave the automotive diagnostics
stuff behind, but the 5120 is the last of the original 5100 line, and the
machine that followed it was the 5150 (i.e., the PC).
If you don't want it, wheel it over to me!
