one of my 2 5155 suitcase computers is still a dual floppy model and one of
the drives posts bad. I'm looking for the "correct" drive for this model.
it's
a half height 360k drive with a black faceplate with the IBM logo on the
bottom right. if anyone has it available, give me a shout.

Was there ever a supported hard disk for that machine (that didn't use
the 5161 expansion cabinet)? My manuals seem to imply there wasn't
Of course it's a standard XT motherboard in there, so if you get a
half-height drive and a 'short' controller it'll go in.

If it's any help the drive was made by Qume, and it's the same drive as
in the PC-jr
I have the schematics in the Options and Adapters Techref if you want to
have a go at fixing the original drive. From what I remember it's not hard.
If it's failing the POST, then the most likely problem is head movement
or track 0 sensor, I think.

If the one you have has an original make and part number, post it and I can see
if I have an exacto-replacement that you could have for a couple bucks and
shipping. That way you'd get the absolute best for originality. Of course I have
to find and test the drive once I know what you have.
