Hi!
My IBM 5120 (5110 base unit) works well, but I miss the utility disks.
Have a bunch of spares 8" floppies, empty.
I know there were some IBM utility disks for the 5120, and I can write
disk images to an 8" floppy.
So, does anyone have disk images for the 5120 system?
I searched the Web, with no luck...
Thanks!

Just ask ;-)
I've put images of the customer support functions (verw*) and diagnostics
(diag*) onto our FTP server[1]. I see that I should make new images from
the floppies with a current version of ImageDisk.
Question: Do you have software for your system? Would you like to make
images of these? I like to collect anything related to 51[012]0 systems.

Thanks for the floppy images!!!
I'm sorry, I got only the 5110 with two internal drives, the printer and
its cable.
They told me they put everything else in the trash can many years ago.
Damn !
The 5120 was saved by an employer who stored the 5120 ten years under a
plastic cover. After that, having no use for it, it gave the 5120
away...
So the (sad) story goes...
