I'm just stating what I tested as is. You are free to believe or not, but don't ask me for the results because you're curious,
but directly, IBM PC 5160 main board + FDC (P/N: 1809113) + XT/AT power supply, XT supported keyboard + FDD Buy it and test it out.
To be clear, I am telling the truth about the test results I have.
And since the test devices are not only one, but two, we tested each one under the same conditions to avoid controversy.
The symptom is that it does not boot, and even access to DIR after booting with XT-IDE is not possible.
The same goes for a 5.25" 360KB drive or a 3.5" 720KB drive. There is nothing more I can report.
And FDC (P/N:1809113) has the same symptoms not only on the 5160, but also on the other 5170. It's because of the -5V problem, but I've already tested it with a power supply that supports -5V.
Only two 5150 motherboards worked without problems. The 5150 should work, of course, but...
