It’s a shame this is happening so much lately

P9 should be the -5/+5v side. I’d back up a little and first check the main board for shorts on that 5v side. On your Rev.B system, -5v is only used for the cassette amplifier circuit and possibly the floppy controller if it’s an early version. The +5v is used by most ISA cards. You should...

Back in the early’80s, several software rental stores opened in Toronto. I remember that for a “regular “ rental you were only given one day of use so I’d rent on a Saturday as they were closed Sundays. This would at least give you a couple of days with it. They even rented Quaid. :)

That’s a nice find. I’ve never seen an expansion unit with an internal speaker.

You’ve done a beautiful restoration here. It’s fascinating how it’s laid out, totally different compared to North American design. A little scary seeing exposed line voltage inside the case.

:) some things, as I’m sure you know, you just can’t part with!

“Gas & Oil”, nice analogy. Shame that the day will come when, along with crank windows, kids won’t know what they are. :/

I still have my Coolermaster V10, a ridiculously massive 775/1366 cooler. Think it was around ‘09 I bought it.

That’s a broken trace. Here’s images from two I have.

Old thread I know. I bought one of these in ‘82 to go with my Electrohome ECM1302-2 RGBi monitor. With it, you could display composite video. The box would hook on the back of the monitor vents. CGA graphics with more than four colours? MS-Flight Simulator looked great!

Thank you, the link you provided has the TG3020 disk images I am seeking. Obviously, my Navigation skills are not the best.

Pulling up this previous request as I too am seeking a copy of the TALLGRASS Software Disc. The Tallgrass documentation (Thank You - Modem7) illustrates that during initial installation, the supplied Master Software Disc is used to create the Master Boot Disc that would contain the...

I never knew about the '86 BIOS adding that support and mistakenly assumed Octavio had a 5150

I will and it’s nice since you can reassign keys as needed. I’m using a Tinkerboy with my F-AT

The 84 key model M pictured is not compatible with a 5150/5160 as is, it requires a 83 key XT class board. There are, of course, workarounds including numerous protocol selectable boards. The model M supplied by IBM for the XT/286 and early 5170 was as pictured above but WITH the status LEDs.
