IBM 5126 at the local thrift store - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

 Sorry Jason,    I misread your email. Thought you were questioning my
 discovery..
 Wonder why IBM has called this machine a 5126 anyway ?

 Also why hasn't someone jumped at the opportunity to purchase this fine
 piece of equipment to tune up their automobile with ... <Grin>!!!

 Its only 100 bucks and its the size of a large capacity washer, and weighs
...
  500lbs..
 It would be heaven to dissemble this monster and see what goodies lie within
...
  it..
 Phil...

They probably called it a 5126 because it has all the diagnostic stuff.

It would be neat to throw a Pentium board, 32x CD-ROM in it, an then see
what it would do.  Imagine having it sitting in your living room as your
"PC" :-)

BTW: do you know what resolution the display is?
