Hey everyone,
I finally managed to get myself a nice IBM 5160! I decided to begin upgrading the system today when I ran into an issue with the Sergey ISA SVGA card when installed in the system. I know the card works because I have tested it in my Commodore PC10-III. All the jumpers are correct so I looked to the forum for help, where I found the following thread:
http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/showthread.php?38893-VGA-Card-IBM-XT-5160
It seems that this card, or the Trident chip on the card, is not compatible with my 5160. I've tried both versions of the BIOS on Sergey's site, along with lots of other troubleshooting to try to get it to work but it's a no go.
So, unless any one knows how to fix the problem I'm having, I would like to trade my card for a VGA/SVGA card that will work in the 5160. Please let me know if you can help.
Thanks so much!
Heather
