I obtained another 5160 IBM: chassis, power supply, board + CPU "for parts only". Speaker tag says April of '86. Included were full-height IBM HD + 1/2 height 5.25 + 3.5 drives, IBM FDC, IBM HDC, AST Six-Pack Plus and a VIP MGA-III / P combination monochrome Hercules adapter and parallel port, which I mistook for a combo serial and parallel port at first, since it was so small and unfamiliar.
Monochrome will do fine for testing and setup as I have an IBM 5151 but I would eventually like to have a color display. I obtained another IBM monitor, a 5154, reportedly DOA, which will be a project in itself. But the question is: If I am looking for a color video "card" does the 5154 limit me to EGA? I looked on MZD and saw that some VGA cards will work with the 5160, but will they work with a 5154?
Thanks for your replies.
