I won this disk in an auction:
"IBM Personal Computer Hardware Reference Library | Diagnostics | v2.02"
...only to find that it had been reformatted and filled with someone's Turbo C
homework assignments (argh!). Does anyone have this diskette image available
for download? I'd like to restore it to the original diskette to make it whole
again.

weren't these specific to the hardware that the diskette would come
with? for instance, an IBM PS/2 9595A, 5155, etc?

I've got 1.02, if that's any help. This is the disk that one often finds
tucked away in the back of the reddish 3-ring binder labele "IBM Personal
Computer Guide to Operations" that accompanied every PC. Most of the
time, the books were never opened, so the disks can often be found, still
in the back pocket of the book, never touched.
Cheers,
Chuck

The exact diskette I'm trying to replace has this fully:
IBM (logo) 1502212
Personal Computer
Hardware Reference Library

Diagnostics

Since yours is 1.02 I am assuming it was 5150 whereas mine probably used to be
5160.

Mine is 2.05, item 1502367. Came with a 5150. I might be able to locate a
blank and make a copy.

all the same.
