    Executive Suite Game Issue

    IBM XT 5160 E0 301 error on boot

    Got a free dead IBM 5160, and thanks to the great info over on minuszerodegrees.net, was able to track down and replace the bad tantalum capacitor that was shorting the -12V rail. Now on to the next problem! I get an E0 301 error, and then press F1 to continue. Looking at the troubleshooting...
