5150 and NIXDORF BA 88
I've installed an MDA card (looks brand new, Made in China), set the DIP switches and switched on power. The 5150 boots to the post beep and goes into BASIC. The NIXDORF BA 88 works. I'll try the 5151 next.
I inserted a DOS 1.1 floppy and the PC boots to DOS.
Which Floppy is the A: drive? I'm booting from the left hand drive which is on the end of the cable and has the termination resistor. The DOS disk is in this drive.
I tried booting with an EGA card but I either get no output on the screen or a screen full of a's
