Aquisitions

   Well I went out yet again today and found a really nice IBM 5155 Portable
PC at the local Salvation Army thrift store. I picked it up and brought it
home, and it works like a champ! The only DOS I had for it though was either
CoronaDOS 1.25 or 2.11, and both booted fine on it, though I can't get either
CP/M-86 or Concurrent CP/M to boot on it. This is an interesting machine
considering it has the full 8 expansion slots in the rear! I think it will
make a nice addition to the Osbourne and Kaypro portables I already have,
though I hadn't planned on adding a PC to the collection at all. Now all I
have to do to round out the portables is find a Commodore SX-64 some day for a
good price. BTW, the IBM has a whopping 256k of RAM.
