    Self testing problem in 5160

    I think so. I removed expansion card and use Ruud's Diagnostic, it still showed 576 KB of RAM (actually 256KB on board now).

    Problems about repairing a PC/XT 5160 motherboard

    New progress! The board worked after I use the 82’ IBM BIOS and fixed the RAM controlling circuits. But the 8255 maybe died because the keyboard is unavailable (Error code 601) and the board will often be force reset after memory testing. This is a picture of started displays that was not reset...
