How would such late versions of Windoze wind up on the other 5150? Wonders never cease.

Such a big market for them old printers these
days
and THAT was the IBM version of the Epson MX80!
(ok a plotter is a sort of printer and the only
way anyone's getting
mine is wrenching it from my cold rigor mortised embrace.
Proposed transfer terms? Acceptable. Other "non-standard" ROMs:
Todd Fischer? made a diagnostics ROM, to temporarily replace the BIOS ROM,
and communicate through the serial port!
Ooh gimme dat! I want one seriously.
What's his phone number? You can pop
the hood and put in a new chip. But what about an extension
via the all too popular casette port?
Once you boot up, and go into cassette BASIC, then you can load almost any
age-appropriate software through the cassette port. You could even
connect two 5150s through the cassette port and transfer files. Any idea
how long it would take to transfer Windoze7? (Windoze 3.10 or above will
not run on a 5150.)
