I recently purchased an unusual IBM 5162. It can start up normally.
Nameplate indicates that it is a 5162. However, when opening it, I discovered that its motherboard was really peculiar.
In contrast to others, my motherboard's chips—including the CPU—are all mounted to the PCB via sockets.
The chip layout is also different from normal.
Additionally, rather than being powered by an external battery, the battery is fixed and soldered to the motherboard.
Is 5162 the correct model number? Is it a prototype for an engineering project? Is this one fake?
