Although it cost alot, I will finally have an IBM PC 5150. I also will have the following hardware to fit inside it:
IBM Personal Computer Math Coprocessor
IBM Keyboard (83-Key)
IBM Monochrome Display
IBM Monochrome Display and Printer Adapter
IBM Color Display
IBM Color/Graphics Display Adapter
IBM Printer Adapter
IBM Asychronous Adapter
IBM Game Control Adapter
IBM 5-1/4" Diskette Drive Adapter
IBM 5-14" Diskette Drive x 2 (Full Height)
IBM 20MB Fixed Disk Drive
Kraft Premium II PC Joystick (substitute for IBM PCjr.'s joystick)
I am missing the following still:
IBM 64/256K Memory Expansion Option x 2 (to get to 640KB)
IBM Asychronous Adapter (2nd)
IBM Fixed Disk Drive Adapter (20MB Compatible Version)
IBM 20MB Fixed Disk Drive (2nd)
Obviously, all of this will not fit inside a 5150, with its 5 slots and 63.5W power supply! Until I can afford an IBM Expansion Unit, that is the way it will have to be! The end result is that I will have a fully stocked IBM PC 5150, going as far as it can go with IBM hardware.
