IBM 5150, 10/27/82 bios, 256 RAM all good, 2 stock floppy drives with controller card, boots fine and will boot to dos 2.x from floppy.
I've been using the Texelec SD XT-IDE boards and have several of them installed in various machines. This includes a 5160 XT and a 5170, both with dos 6.22 and they all boot just fine to the XT-IDE SD.
But my trusty old 5150 will not seem to work with the XT-IDE.
with an unformatted SD card I can boot to A:dos, but the C drive is not visible or available for formatting. neither is a D or E.
with the working SD 6.22 from my 5170 or 5160, it will start to boot from C with 'starting MS DOS' but just hangs with no progress.
I'm not sure why I am having issues with the 5150. The Texelec XT-IDE SD cards are fantastic, I just cannot get it to work in this one machine.
Any thoughts?
