Welcome to the forum @Jentralith . Check to make sure that your floppy cable is in good condition. Remember to have the A drive on the last connector, after the twist, like what is shown here: https://retrocmp.de/fdd/general/floppy-cable.htm Also you can check the jumper settings on your...

I had not connected your handle with the comm program. I used qmodem, myself, on my IBM 5155 and 5150, many years ago. It was a great program. Thanks very much for creating it! - Alex

Hello, @kobura , I’m not selling my Compaq, sorry. - Alex

I have a 486C that I got in perfect condition, with a dead LCD. There's a well-documented process for replacing the LCD with a modern model. - Alex

Unfortunately, folks, we have a constant stream of spammers, and the load is decently heavy on the mods, even with the current restrictions. We also have folks who join the forums with the intent to conduct scams, and the 10-post minimum makes that more work. - Alex

Welcome to the forum @Dubliner ! - Alex

I'd be interested in #3. Thanks! - Alex

All these are moved. Thanks! - Alex

I think a 386 motherboard based on this chipset would be very interesting. Especially with integrated IDE and full FM/MFM single and double sided floppy controller onboard. - Alex

Here's a high-quality option, from one of the designers and refiners of the board: https://www.tindie.com/products/glitchwrks/glitch-works-xt-ide-rev-4b/ - Alex

Nice work! It's great to see storage cards like this being cloned. I'm not familiar with this manufacturer, at all, unfortunately. I know, and used, many other SCSI vendors' products, but not this one. - Alex

Thanks again for all this work. - Alex

I still like the lunchbox form factor. Portable enough, but with a good keyboard and room for expansion. The military still uses a lot of modern lunchbox systems. - Alex

For those looking for a different form factor, have you considered taking the PCBs out of a Hand386 or Pocket386 and re-homing them? It’d be a seriously easy job, to knock up a new chassis, if you want an SFF PC, and the original ports are already available, including ISA, serial, parallel, PS/2...

Agreed and done. The last G5 will be 20 years old next year, so I think that’s quite fitting, as well. I always leave it up to folks as to what “vintage” is, as opinions are so varied. My thought is that “vintage” is whatever people are nostalgic about, with no particular date cut-off. If folks...

I fixed the title of the thread. Good luck, I love the 5155. And, people definitely called it a “suitcase” or luggable, back when it was new. Remember that stereotypical 1970s hard-sided luggage? The 5155 is very close to that size, albeit a bit heavier. - Alex

If anyone wants other sub-categories, feel free to suggest them. - Alex

Sorry, I can't do anything about the CSS. @VeryVon , any thoughts? I did another re-org, which separates 'Genres' and 'Companies'. I also created some subforums. Please let me know if others would be useful. FYI, organization, or the lack thereof, is not an indication of preference, as anyone...
