I'm the proud owner of an original IBM 5150 PC from 1984. (This is the
original PC, not even an XT. It has a cassette interface!)
Unfortunately, the MFM disk has the "clock of death" and won't boot, so
I need to replace it. Also unfortunately, MFM disks are now pretty
expensive on ebay.
But... IDE drives are cheap, and there are 8-bit ISA IDE cards
available that are reputed to work on the old XT systems.
However, I'm concerned that these may not work on the original 5150 PC
(The XT came later is the 5160).
Anybody have any experience or knowledge of these adapters?
TIA!
