machine. Nice Job!
Thanks. It's very clean although I've had to make a couple of repairs
in the past. A shorted diode in the monitor. It also threw a RAM
chip one time. Thank goodness for POST messages, which pointed me to
the exact one!
About four years ago I got a complete 5160 with color monitor & IBM
printer for about $200. Everything was in the original boxes and even
included IBM branded printer & serial cables, also in boxes! I need to
find a good keyboard for my 5150 though.
The cool thing was that it appeared to have been boxed and then never
touched since about 1986. That's what all the file dates read. The
machine was totally pristine, inside and out. Spinrite found zero errors
on the 10MB hard disk it had too.
