See the first IBM PC, the IBM 5150 from 1981 in action. This PC was build in 1983 and is upgraded to the full 640KB RAM and with two 30MB MFM-Harddisks. The CPU is a AMD 8088 (second source).

THAT IS AMAZING!!!! Wonderful technology I envy you
.
On eBay, for example. I paid for it about 100 EUR.
Where can you buy a PC like that? And how much does that cost?
Fallout feeling,right
lol upgraded to the full 640KB of ram… mine has 6 gigs lol
sounds like the hard drive wasn´t parked correctly (my st225 made the same sound when i got it, but after parking it and spinning it up again it had the correct startup pattern)
mostly system diagnostic routines, copy programs and disk formating.
or did you mean that other disc he inserted? that was DOS 2.10 startdisc.
can i run win 7 on that xDDD
It would be interesting to put a rotary phone next to this.
fallout 3 pc

Thanks for the thumbs down Fucktard i was being sarcastic lolz
No, you only have to replace the full hight drives with this one. Then you have room for two other 5,25″ drives. This half hight drives are also only standard capacity drives fpr 360K disketts, no HD drives (1,2M). If HD drives should be used, you have to change the floppy controller.
I didn’t know it’s possible to use those flat floppy drives. Does that need some special modifications, or are they special third party products…?
what did those floppies contain? all i saw was a bunch of numbers
lol
That’s what he uses that for.

Great set up! You kept that machine very well preserved.

There were a few PCs bevor this one. It’s only the first IBM PC, which introduced the architecture that is still in use in actual PCs (IBM compatible).
