I bought a 5170 for $10 at a computer repair shop that was going out of business today. It came with 2 The Personal Computer Hardware Reference library one with the floppies, Disk Operating System 3.20 book but no software, Windows 3.1 manual, and a storyboard program. All the parts have never left each other (evident by the Methodist Church stamp on all the books and the computer/monitor/keyboard)
It is in pretty good condition and it runs but it won't boot up from the 5" floppy.
The drive it has is not standard and it appears to be two drives in one. The top is a 3" and the bottom 5". When the computer turns on it looks at both but when I press F1 to run the setup it only checks the top drive but not the bottom one. They share the same cable labeled A.
Thanks for any help.
