I've been resurrecting my IBM 5170 today - it's been out of use for a while after the hard drive died. I've been unable to fix the original drive, it has developed hundreds of bad sectors (head crash?). It sounded rather ill anyway.
I fitted a third generation 8MHz mainboard and coaxed my spare IBM0665 30MB drive into working again. I've also been unable to resurrect the second 360kB drive, and the spare I bought on eBay is also dead, so I fitted a 1.44MB in its place. I've kept the 1.2MB as A:
