Hi. It's been a while since I last posted here. I dug up this particular laptop recently, and I haven't had a lot of luck finding documentation for it. I was able to find an old user's manual that gave me an idea of the ports on the outside (RGB port, PC Card slot, hard drive, etc), but I have...

Well, I gave it a look, and the lights are always on. I flipped the cable's connector to the motherboard to see if that would solve the problem, but the lights are still constantly on and neither drive will read disks. I ran the config utility when I first installed the drives and turned the...

It has been a long time since I last posted. A while ago, I was constantly running into POST code issues with a replacement floppy drive for this machine. Since then, I was able to find a 3.5in floppy drive to go with the 5.25in that I had with it, found the right kind of cable to hook both of...

The earliest game in my memory was definitely Super Mario Brothers. The oldest game I own I think is Combat, an Atari 2600 launch title.

I've been having issues regarding the floppy drive for this machine. It originally came with a combo unit, but the original was unusable as there were black marks all over the connector board, so it was swapped with a standard 5.25" drive. However, I've been running into configuration issues...

Not sure how many photos I can attach (I'm on another forum that uses the same forum software, and it's limited to five media items), but here's what I was able to take pictures of.

I'll keep these in mind when and if I expand the RAM. I have an issue regarding the floppy drive I want to resolve first though. I have a thread open here already about it. https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/post-error-662-on-ibm-ps-1-model-2155.1243111/

Someone asked the model number of the machine earlier. It's an IBM PS/1 2155-24M.

It's a model 2155. I'm not at home right now so I can't check any further than that. I can look that up later.

My biggest concern right now is just getting this 5.25" floppy drive to configure properly, then repeating the process with a 3.5" once I find one. I have another thread on the board that goes into slightly more detail on the subject.

Where to start. Okay: my name is Tony, and I've been using computers since I was a kid in the early 90s. My old grade school was filled with Apple II computers, and I first used DOS in the early 90s with games like Stunts, Doom, and Commander Keen. A few months ago, I dug up my ma's old...

I have, but every time I restart the computer, it flips the configuration I set (sets drive A as not installed and drive B to 1.2MB instead of the other way around) and keeps throwing the error at me.

I dug up my ma's old IBM to work on for a class I was taking, and I'm still trying to get it into complete working shape. Most everything on this computer is still functioning properly despite not having been touched for over 20 years, but the original floppy drive (a combo unit) had a lot of...
