Quick overview of the IBM 5162 I picked up. The IBM PC marketed as an XT machine that is actually an AT 286 based system.
Describes the state of the machine upon purchase, and what I did to get it up and running again. It didn't boot using the harddrive / floppy, and it was missing a diskdrive.
Used IBM PC Basic to configure the drives and was able to get it up and running again.
Provides a high level overview of the exterior and the interior (expansion cards).
