Anyone have an extra IBM 5155 laying around?? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Well, I think the only card that was in it was the video card (HD and floppy
controllers had been removed).  The first slot (closest to the side of the
case) on the XT and PC motherboards do match up.  I think for the cassette
port, he just drilled a hole in the case, or cut something.  I'm not too
sure how he did it, because it's been 5 years since I've seen it.

Ouch... That takes a lot of metal-bashing to (a) make a hole for the
cassette connector) and (b) get the 5 slots on the PC motherboard to
attempt to line up with suitable holes in the case. No thanks... It would
have been a lot less work to fix that floppy....
