I have IBM Diagnostics on Cassette tape that came with the machine.
I just found it strange that the diagnostics would come on cassette tape

Well, what tape reader was 5150 compatible?
Just about any inexpensive audio cassette recorder. I used a cheap

cable between the 5 pin DIN and a recorder, but the one offered by
Radio Shack for its own machines worked just fine.
