Finally got the XT-IDE working with a 32 MB DOM yesterday, so my 5150 is complete now. 😀
It's a model from 1984, untouched, never repaired and (unknown to me how) still working perfectly. All I did, apart from cleaning, was populating the empty FPU socket with an original, ceramic Intel 8087 and adding the XT-IDE card in the last empty ISA slot.
Specs:
* Intel 8088 + 8087, 4.77 MHz
* 256 KB RAM on-board
* additional 256 KB RAM on original IBM Memory Card
* IBM Color Graphics Adapter
* IBM Floppy Disk Controller
* IBM Printer Interface
* XT-IDE with 32 MB DOM
* 2 full-height 5.25" IBM Floppy Disk Drives
* 63 watt PSU
MS-DOS 3.2 failed to install, so it's currently running MS-DOS 5.0. I also own three copies of IBM PC DOS 3.3, which is what I intend to run on it eventually.
