The bottom left is making me so anxious!

1st 5160

2 video cards? ok then.

5160 numero dos

very sparse in this one

5150 this one has been tagged

pretty standard internals, save for that memory card...

Something about IBM and those silver cans...

A 5271. Think IBM 3270 got drunk and met a 5160 and this was the result. I'm missing the internal pic, its a standard 5160 except for this:

there is this monster of a card inside. IBM part numbers: 60x5867 & 61x6667 the brown board has 2mb of ram with parity.

Does that sticker REALLY say expansion unit? OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

FUCK. someone just put the expansion cover on a bog-standard 5160.

So what exactly do you do with these? Clean them, repair them, sell them?

If they weren't abused a lot of that stuff should still work

I remember entering Debug mode and typing "go=C800:5" to low level format a very old IBM hard drive that kept seeking too much.

I hope you have a working PC or compatible to interface to them for that task.

I do actually. One of the cards looks to be a late 16-bit one, should work nicely, no jumpers!
