About a week or so ago, I asked about IBM PCs... I had received
a few when we saved the decsystem-10s (they had been used as
consoles). I wasn't sure what they were (and hadn't really
looked at their model numbers) and asked how I might identify
IBM PCs...
I got lots of good info... and today (while cleaning the museum,
er, my apartment) I put them together and powered them up. They
both work...
One is a 5160, one is a 5150. The 5160 has what I think is a
10Mbyte hard drive and a full height 5.25" floppy. The 5150 has
again a 10Mbyte hard drive and a half height 5.25" floppy. Are
the floppies what account for the difference betweeen the 5160
and the 5150, or is there something else?
Otherwise the monitors, keyboards and units work fine... I think
I may put one up on ebay...
