Hi Folks
1st time poster.
After having cleared the loft a few weeks ago I have got going a 5150 with Green MDA that has been up there for at least 7 years. I saved it from the being dumped and it had spent all it's life being connected to an IBM midrange (a 38 I think) and had an 5250 emulator card in it to do so.
It is a later one with 256k on board, a 135W PSU and both the floppies have worked fine sofar after liberal use of the air duster. I bought of Ebay IBM DOS 3.3 on a pair 360Ks for $2 and I am away. I have just swapped out the 5250 card and have put in an early AST 6pack plus with 384K on it. This is working fine and I now have 640K + COM1 and it now Kermits to the my other stuff.
I have put a new clock battery on the 6pack it but I think I need the AST software for the clock. Does anyone have a copy of what I need they can send me?
Thanks
