IBMAT5170
Banned
so, the replacement board i ordered for the XT would not fit. it was too long amd interfered with the drive bay. so i put the xt mostly back together woth its original parts. im frustrated that i spent $140 on this machine amd it does not work. then i invest more money to repair it, so that my original $140 wasnt wasted and the replacement parts are incompatible. so now im $220 into this and still have not managed to accomplish my original goal of reliving my youth.
i could have used that $220 towards bills that need to be paid. and i would have if id had known that this goal was a futile pipedream.
im sure there is someone out there who can get this thing running, i just dont have the patience. i just wanna sit down at the thing and play Games like when i was a kid.
so here is what you get:
ibm xt 5160 with original mobo
ast six pack
original disk controller
st 225 and controller card
async serial card
hercules graphics card
it powers on but wont post.
$150 shipped or best offer.
will trade for working tandy 1000 Tl/2
let me know if you need pics
