I got an early model 5150 with two single sided tandom floppy’s drives! I am still looking for a 16-64 KB Motherboard for it!
Wow, that's awesome, and nice touch with the rose
Great documentation collection too ! Can you post
a list of titles or even better a closeup of those manuals
on the shelf above ? I'm always curious what all those
different color binders contain
I still need to get photos posted of mine...
hey i have a second async card its a little rusty but its an original if you want it and can tell me how to test it lol. found it in a rusted out 486 looks like it would still work but i cant figure out how to use the card in my 5160 much less this one.
I belive the IBM Adv. Dia. would test it?
ill see if i can find a copy on the web
Note that the BIOS and Diagnostics diskette are expecting async cards fitted with particular UART chips:
5150 and 5160 ==> a 8250 or 8250B UART is expected (not 8250A)
5170 =========> a 16450 UART is expected
