Hi. Going through some of my father's 'stuff' and found some old computer hardware. One of them is an IBM 5114. It looks like it has two parts: the bottom are the disk drives and the top is the keyboard/monitor.

I have no idea if it works or not. If anyone is interested, I can send pictures.

Hi. It sounds like you may have a 5110 computer with a 5114 drive unit. Posting some pictures will allow people to id the system for you.

Interested.

Here are some pictures. It/they have been wrapped in shrink wrap. There is also a printer on top. It's an IBM 5103.

Yep. That is a complete mid end 5110 system with printer and disk drive. The drives look a bit funky but that can be just the picture.

What operating systems would it run?

It boots BASIC from ROM and that's about it. A few talented people have written "bare metal" (no OS) machine code demos, but these are pretty tiny --- watch a dot bounce around a screen sort-of stuff. There are no bitmap graphics, just text mode characters.
