SOLD: IBM 5160XT

[Slor]

Anyone here happen to be interested in acquiring a working XT? I picked

one up a few years back and just haven't had a whole lot of use for it, so

perhaps there's someone here who would. It's in excellent condition (both

cosmetically and functionally), and here are the general specs:

 

- 640 KB RAM

- 20 MB hard drive

- 5.25" 360 KB floppy drive

- 3.5" 720 KB floppy drive

- Currently running DOS 3.3a

- Includes IBM 5151 TTL monitor (solid picture without burn-in)

Looking for $100 + shipping (or local pickup in Indianapolis, IN).

 

Thanks!

And the keyboard is here: http://www.slor.net/trade/pc/xtkb.jpg

Also, I checked, and what looks like a scratch in the top of the main unit is actually just a piece of debris.

Out of all of the keyboards I've used, that model is my favorite. Can't beat the clicky keyboard's response and that model also autoswitches between XT and AT modes (so you can pretty much use it on any old or new computer that uses the standard keyboard interface).

 

Just wondering, is that a 720k drive under the 5.25" one?

You're correct - I neglected to note the 3.5" floppy. Updating original post.

I actually used the keyboard for a very short while with a PS/2 converter. I love the tactile response, but I was no longer digging the click.

Wow... that is almost identical to my first ever "proper" PC. Had the 20MB MFM hard drive, dual 5.25" floppies, EGA monitor. Such a great system... I enjoyed many a Sierra adventure and old-school RPG on that machine.

UPDATE: sale pending until Monday.

 

This machine is still available. Drop me a line if interested.

 

thanks!
