Greetings, just a completely off-the-cuff video here to just kind of show off the IBM
5160 XT, which I recently got at a Goodwill for $39.
Actually, this was shown in an LGR Thrifts episode, and if you have not seen that, then just click that little video
that's popping up there. You can go and see me finding this thing and
absolutely feeling like a kid in a candy shop, finding this - I was blown away that I was able to actually get a
vintage computer at Goodwill for a decent price. It was still all there. It was in really nice
shape, all I've had to do really is just clean it up and
You know just just a little bit of, uh, magic eraser and some electronic wipes
Tiny bit of Goo Gone on the top where there was some sticker residue, but other than that? It was fine.
It really wasn't even that dusty on the inside, so, uh,
Yeah, what I'm going to do here is just sort of show the system as it is; what it actually does, and then maybe
go on the inside and peek around in there and show you what it's working with.
It's worth noting though that I actually already had this IBM
5151 monitor here as well as this IBM PC and XT-compatible keyboard
And all this software and a bunch of other things. It came with basically just this base unit here and everything inside of it, but anyway
That's that. It's all plugged in, so let me just go ahead and show you what we got.
But first, though, I'm going to actually put the operating system in here because, well, you'll see why.
This is MS-DOS 3.1. Sorry -- 3.3, rather..
