Hey guys, I recently purchased a beautiful example of a 5160, with a hard disk and 5.25in drive.
This'll be my first IBM or even IBM compatible. So, I've got a bit if a conundrum. I don't have any boot disks, nor do I have any 5.25in drives that I could use to write. What are my steps from here in order to get some or alternatives to floppies entirely?
I've also heard about problems with the CMOS battery, and while this battery seems good, I'd rather not risk it. I know I can replace it with a few AAs, but I'd rather avoid breaking out the soldering iron unless I have too. What are my options?
