I recently got 2 IBM 5162 XT Model 286 machines in the shop.
One was a donation together with a whole bunch of even older retro machines, and the other was from a subscriber who just couldn't get the machine to recognise the hard drive. Given his track-record of broken MFM hard drives, he feared the worst but decided to allow me to take a look at it.
The IBM 5162 XT Model 286 is considered somewhat of a unicorn among the old IBM PCs.... Funny as I currently have 3 of those sitting here :)
Join me in this video (part 1 of a 2 part series) where we will look at the first IBM 5162.
