i havent had any problems finding either a 5140 or
5155. i have two portable
pcs and one convertible which i traded a nic for. i have seen 5155s at several
hamfests, and even saw two at a hock shop for $150 each <!> I have a book that
says the 5155 was "rare" but i disagree. i'd much rather love to find a
complete 3270pc or a xt370 or even an at370.
Hmmm...now where did I pass up on that 3270PC? Or did I get it after all?
I can't remember. Why are those so rare?
And I guess the XT370 and AT370 were machines with 370 emulator boards in
them to act as terminals to a 370 mainframe?
