    WTB: Portable computer case. Preferably IBM 5155

    Hello. I'm looking for the case of a portable computer. The best would be the case from an IBM 5155, but any portable computer with built in monitor and keyboard at around the same size as the IBM 5155. I'm only looking for a case with keyboard (If it is a 5155 keyboard is not needed either.)...

I have tried to measure the voltage lines, and found out the 5 volt line was about 75 ohms to ground (the other lines were 1k+). Is this a normal value for this type of board or is there a short...

    HP 200lx - Korean keyboard

    I couldn't find anything about Korean when I first powered on the machine, and as you can see the keyboard has arrows pointing to shift+space so I have tried this too. I feel it's a little strange if you have to copy over Korean programs, but I have tried most of the programs with input and none...

    HP 200lx - Korean keyboard

    I recently bought a hp 200lx here. It is a Korean version. All the keys have small Korean symbols on them, and a sticker under the machine says Korea / English.

    I want to add a native 5.25" floppy to my pc, but I can't find a way to connect it. I have a PCI slot and a PCi-e slot on my motherboard.

    16-bit ISA ethernet card in 8-bit slot

    Hello I found this card: http://crashrecovery.org/isdn/cards/img/EiconDivaIsa2.01.jpg and I was wondering if it would work in a ibm 5160 and if I would need drivers or something? I have never used a computer that old with ethernet before so I'm not sure how I do it.

I tried to open it to take a look but in the manual it seems like I have to disassemble the screen to remove the top part and...
