Hi Guys,
Just to add / correct information given about my old "IBM XT".
Model No: 5160
Manufactured in Scotland 1983
4MHz 286 CPU
128Kb ram on board
2 30 pin dimm slots each supporting 256Kb
5.25" Single sided 160Kb floppy
Seagate ST506 HDD.
Note the 5160 did not have a hard disk fitted originally. I purchaced
the ST506 separatly. It has a header for the tape cassette recorder,
which went to a slot bracket containg the audio in and out sockets.
The other machine is an "IBM AT"
Model No: 5162
Manufactured in Scotland 1984
6MHz 286 CPU
Socket for 287 Co processor
128Kb ram on board
2 30 pin dimm slots each supporting 256Kb
5.25" Double sided 1200Kb floppy
Seagate ST510 HDD.
Note this machine (5162) has been very heavily modified over the years
and currently sports a 43Mb 3.5" hard disk drive. It also has the two
floppy disk drives. A 1.2Mb 5.25" and a 1.4Mb 3.5" one.
Amazingly it will also recognise and support an IDE CDrom on the plug in
interface card, along with any IDE hard disk that is in the BIOS table.
Unfortunatly that is a maximum of 128Mb, although if you set a "Type
17" you can use an overlay to get to 504Mb.
Just shows, the old grey stuff isn't infallable after all !!!
