0x0008 - An Overdue IBM 5150 Repair
1,223It's time for me to get my 5150 up and running.
I've been putting this off for far too long. I had some kind of mental hurdle I had to get over to finally push myself to do this one. The ambiguity of the symptoms and the measurements I got made me less than confident in this repair.
So I'm not 100% convinced this is the forever solution, but for now all I can say is that it seems fixed. Now I'm really looking forward to getting the other PSUs refurbished and getting the second 5150 going for CGA. I know it's a stupid limit to put on myself, but it makes for a good artificial motivation to actually get it done.
