I usually get XT-IDE+CF from Blue Lava Systems but due to a supply issue I ended up getting another one that was just XT-IDE, so looking for something I can put on that.

Does anyone have recommendations for DOM's that work well with your IDE in retro solutions such as XT-IDE?

The cards I have use BNC connectors. I am wondering where I could find cables and terminators.

I sent some modules to the UK to be modded so they would work in the EMEA; since actual 1 meg modules I haven't been able to find, only the 512k and 256k modules. They came back, I put them in, the system counts up all the way, and nothing triggers a problem that prevents the post, the error...

They're the modified 1 meg SIMM's so they work in the EMEA; I ran through and tested all SIMM's two at a time. Each set comes up with a different refresh error but not enough of a problem to stop booting.

I'm trying to decipher this error message when running advanced diagnostics: REFRESH FAILURE 200002 0002 18:03:14 error - 12928KB MEMORY 203 What module on the EMEA could it be?

Does anyone here have any experience with these? I'm curious about the physical topology itself.

Once upon a time, many moons ago I had a SIIG IDE controller (that's all it did) I haven't seen one on eBay since... Unless you have any recommendations as to a good adapter card that would not throw a fit.

Hello Friends I've spent a good portion of today reading old threads on the XT-IDE being used in the 5162 or the 5170. Lot's of useful information there. The take away is that I'd have to use a non IBM BIOS in order to fully use the XT-IDE. If that isn't accurate please let me know. Has...

Does anyone have the image of an updated 1.0 install disk? I guess I can find 2.0 images out there and try that.

I am using the IBM PS/2 Display Adapter as the only display in the unit.

I'm wondering if anyone has any success (or failures) installing Xenix on their 5162 or 5170. I was lucky to acquire from Computer Reset IBM's branded Xenix 1.0 with install media. I follow the instructions but during the first few steps of the install process the screen goes blank (loss of...

I'd like to know what would happen if you add more than 1 extender card as if you wanted to add more than 1 expansion unit? You probably can't, but wouldn't that be fascinating if you could?

The 5170 has 512K onboard with 128K backfill from an expansion card listed below with the other cards: 1. HD/FD Controller Card 2. IBM Personal System/2 Display Adapter 3. IBM 2.0 Megabyte Expanded Memory Adapter (provides the 128 to make 640) 4. IBM Enhanced Memory Expansion Adapter (also...

This would be the power supply that I need to power the IBM PC Network Translator Unit, if anyone has it, please reach out. Thanks, Daniel

It is not the complete kit, doesn't include the cabling.

Specifically I'm looking for the cords for this card because the ports on the card are not RJ-11, they are either proprietary or some other connector type for which I am not familiar. If you only have the complete kit I'd also be interested in that... Thanks, Daniel

I'm assuming you have probably found one by now, however if you didn't, let me know...

Is there no advanced diagnostics disc equivalent for this unit?

If you're willing to go 3rd party to get an external IBM drive, maybe procure a Backpack 3.5"?
