It's been a very long time since I posted. I had a 5162 in storage that I have just pulled out. I had a USB floppy emulator plugged in, but that seems to have failed. If I leave it connected, the 5162 won't power one. Remove it and it does. It's OK. I don't need it. I now have 2 drives: 1)...

Looking for a working MFM/RLL HD. Trying to stay under $30 shipped if at all possible. I know it is a big ask. I do have quite a number of components I would be willing to trade. If you are looking for something, let me know, and I will see if I have it.

As I have learned (the hard way), not all 5.25" drive bay covers fit the 5150/60. I am looking for ones that will fit. Willing to pay for the covers + shipping to Orlando, FL. Thanks.

So I got a GoTek and flashed it with FlashFloppy. I have ALMOST everything working. The only thing I can't figure is how to get it to boot from the GoTek USB. I have tried creating an IMG from a boot disk and I adding it to the USB, but it just won't boot from the IMG. Has anyone got a GoTek...

Hey guys, I know there are many places that discuss GoTek, but I can't seem to find the info I need. I would like to get one of there. Mainly to help setup 5150/5160/AT's that I restore. I noticed on eBay, that they sell different models. You can get the 1.44Mb models REALLY cheap on eBay...

Hey All, I have a HD that has a number of bad sectors. I am looking for a DOS utility that will provide the track info needed for those sectors, so I can enter in the LLF exclusion table. CHKDSK and SCANDISK does NOT provide that info. Thanks.

Hi all, I managed to pick up an IBM 5170... a PC I have wanted more than any other. I don't even have it yet. I don't even know if it is the 6Mhz... or the 8Mhz version. All I know is that even though it was dirty, It looked like it would clean up really well. No paint scratches. No dents...

I have always wanted one of these in my collection. If anyone has a "reasonably" priced one for sale, please let me know.

After spending 20+ hours restoring an IBM 5155 Luggable PC, I got to the very last part, namely reinstalling the handle and realized I can’t find the screws for the handle. I had soaked them in Vinegar, then wrapped them in a paper towel. I did put the paper towel in a baggy, but for some reason...

Hey guys, I have this card, but I can find ZERO info about it, specifically what the dip switch settings would be to switch between CGA and mono. Was wondering if anyone can help? Pics attached. Thanks.

I have a Trackstart 128 card. Problem is the software to use it is copy protected. ldkraemer (member on this board) has a disk. He also know someone that can use Kryoflux to create a .raw image of the disk. As a matter of fact, someone has already posted the .raw files in another thread. My...

Hey guys. I am in urgent need of a Trackstar 128 disk. I followed the thread below, downloaded the img files and they don't work (they still have the copy protection)...

I installed a 8087 coprocessor into my 5160. Changed the dip switch. Boots. No error. However, after running it for 10 minutes, it is very hot to the touch. Is this normal. The 8086 processor is hot too, but the 8087 is hotter.

OK, So I have almost completed my restoration. It's a model A with the very hard to find version 1 case, but has the version 2 PSU (the one with the sunken scews) and version 2 of the BIOS. It came with no floppies, since it was expected that you would boot from cassette. However that really...

So I am in the process of restoring an early 5150 Model A. It has BIOS version 2, the 2nd version of the PS (the one with the sunken screws on the top), but appears to be the early version of the case (based on this link) http://www.minuszerodegrees.net/5150/early/5150_early.htm It has a 192...

Hey guys. Need some help. I have an XT running DOS 3.2. I have an IBM 5152 printer connected to it. I am trying to print something on the printer. I created a simple text file with some text. I enter the command "print testprnt.txt" and press enter. I hit enter wen it asks for the name of the...

Can anyone tell me more about this card and what it is used for. Found it in a salvage 5150. Tried to google info, but could not find any. Thanks

Stupid question I am sure, but is it possible to get a 5160 with 640KB memory to recognize a 384KB memory expansion card?
