One of these
days, I've got to find the original power supply (black with
white switch), and take the extra drives, boards, ROMs, etc. out of my 16K
5150 before I sell it. Are people actually paying money for those things?
Yes. More if you leave them in :-)
Really??
I assumed that it would be worth more with IBM parts in it.
It's worth MORE with 2 SA455s (360K), an SA465 (5.25" 720K) and an SA350
(3.5" 720K) instead of IBM faceplate TM100s?
I figured that I should put it back to IBM FDC, IBM RAM, IBM serial,
IBM parallel, IBM CGA, IBM PS, instead of:
"Sunshine" EPROM programmer (replaced Apparat programmer),
JRAM (I don't remember what I did with my Boulder Creek ECC RAM board),
interface card for Atari Portfolio memory card drive (replaced P.O.S.T.),
Plantronics CGA,
most recent FDC in it was a Maynard, (at various times, it has had IBM,
Vista, Flagstaff (IBM modified for 8"), JRAM-FDC, Maynard)
I don't remember what the MBI add-on ROM was for.
I used it for 20+ years as a secondary machine for miscellaneous stuff.
