Hi! I have a few questions. Thanks. I made recently a topic about my 8088 xt turbo 8mhz motherboard and cpu i bought recently. But i have a deal for a complete IBM 5160 computer without monitor and keyboard.
1. Which cpu upgrade is it possible in a IBM 5160 ( and 5150 ) ? Is it possible to upgrade to a intel 8088-1 8mhz or 8088-2 10 mhz or Nec V20 16mhz ? I want to know all possibilities. Thanks a lot. And let me know if there is a way to switch between 4.7mhz and 8mhz or 10mhz or 16mhz. If not, would the ibm pc run only at 8mhz or 10mhz or 16mhz ?
2. Mine has 640kb on picture boot screen. So does it include a upgrade isa ram memory card ? or it could be on the motherboard ?
3. I think it comes with a cga card, could i use the cga rca output when i boot the computer ? ( i dont have a cga monitor) Otherwise i will have to use my isa vga cards, but i would like to use the cga rca output. I think its a cga card because it has a rca output and a 9 pins output on the same card. No other connector. Is it for sure a cga card ? Is the rca output would be in colors ? I dont want it in white and black, some people on forum have that sometime instead of color output ?
4. Does my DTK keyboard with a switch for AT or XT work with it ?
Thanks a lot for answers.
