Hi!

​

Hey, I found this site looking up some information for my very first PC :D
It is an IBM 5162 which I rediscovered yesterday, apparently it was last used around 1996.

I like programming on unusual systems like the Nintendo DS so I figured learning DOS programming on my first PC would be appropriate.
Unfortunately a lot of my parts have disappeared over the years (including it's cover) so it'll be a bit longer until I find everything.

The BASIC cmos setup app I found here worked perfectly to get it up and running.
Well, I had the hard drive type wrong but at least I could boot a 286 setup disk and fix it.

Welcome. The cover may be hard to find without buying a whole system. Have you found http://www.minuszerodegrees.net/ ?
