Hi folks. I'm new here, but some of you will know me from the VCF forums, where I go by roberttx.
I've recently picked up a 5110 (BASIC only), along with a 5114 floppy drive and a 5103 printer. It has all the mandatory cards, but no optional ones. It powers on, completes its self test and gets to LOAD0, but several of the characters are only partially drawn on the screen. The lower case ones are in better shape than the upper case, but even some of them are incomplete. It's always the same characters that are mangled and it's independent of their position on the screen, so I suspect possible corruption in the character set, wherever in ROS or the display card it is held. I've tried changing the country setting on the display card, to no avail. I've also tried typing out the alphabet and copying the display to the printer, but I think the print head is gummed up. So, my first two questions are: 1. Can anybody tell me which card the character set is held on? None of the manuals that I've looked at provide that info. 2. Can anybody direct me to a pdf copy of the user manual and/or the service manual for the 5103? Here's a link to my thread on the VCF, with pictures: http://www.vcfed.org/forum/showthread.php?58583-IBM-5110-with-5114-drive-amp-5103-printer&p=467901#post467901 Thanks!
