What a score! I got a load of new UMC’s 6502s off eBay NOS. They work great and we’re mfg. in 1990.

Not finished watching yet but love the music. It gives the 80's/90's pc gaming vibs. Reminds me of StarControl(1 through whatever)

You think you could provide some pointers? I have followed step by step to the T, but when I left it over night as well, it didn’t load the new os. I’m trying to load the OS from the EIF screen when booting, but it freezes and is stuck in the “recovery screen” after I click on the EIF option. And asking me to log in to iCloud. I connected to WiFi and tried logging in, but WiFi disconnects on its own and I can’t log in, therefore stuck in the recovery mode screen. Any idea what it could be?

I've never done a tiger install, then again, I haven't done a whole lot of Mac installs as I haven't had daily usage of Macs since the apple days of the 80's then into PC during the 90's and Linux in the late 90's and 2k's

Briliant :D

Have you tried to run Apple software on it such as Mainstage? I don't think it will work.

Anyone else getting a reboot load and doesn’t install or getting the blank screen for not os installed?

I really do need to finish setting up my work area for cool stuff like this. Although I don't work on macs, I do work with ESP32 boards and some minor modding and such with a few other projects.

Sweet!

Going forward maybe consider an USB to SATA adapter?

nice brother i like this

I always have fun watching your down-to-earth and realistic videos, Jon! Keep it going!

cool video!

Great video Jon! What brand is that external SCSI drive that you had hooked up to this Mac?

The Apple branded RAM sticks that I've found over the years in my SE's have been either 100ns, 120ns or 150ns. Also, when the Mac is lying with the face down, I've found it easier to just squeeze on the sides while trying to lift the back piece off. I try to avoid using my nails.

this is the shizznat

I hated working on these things. Even replacing a hard drive. So many pieces to remove to get to where you needed to go. Tiny delicate wires. Different size screw heads. All black interior so it was difficult to see what you were doing.

Absolutely right that these disks would go into the trash. Along with the catalogs and flyers in newspapers. Crazy prices today on ebay. Just musing I could probably payoff my mortgage or at least my car if I had back all the stuff like this I trashed!!!

Did it not beep when it didnt find a keyboard?

camera needs to be closer

Barbarically 😂....liked and subbed. Up late and fighting my Sequoia install now, booted up and I accidently clicked no on installing to my drive and now it won't boot unless it's from EFI and I cant seem to get it to install to the disk via OpenCore from the home screen so just doing a complete slooooow reinstallation. 🤞🏻

The fact that the internet recovery is still working in 2025 is incredible kind of support. Love that

I love how you have my first 2 games I hot for it

I wonder if someone was able to port ET over to the CV...lol. But yeah, my family was too broke when this was released to get one, let alone any of the attachments. I did get to play the Atari but never owned one of those. My first console was an Odyseey 2000, but that was a few years old by the time we got one.

The 5150 is not an IBM PC XT but an IBM PC. The XT is the 5160

My first pc in 1986 after the IBM 3270 mainframe terminal console I also had it at school in 1984 but I never used, I only built minicomputers with the z80 😄

lucked out with that expansion card

U rename the tittle to How to remove rubberized coatings not fix

Some early AT keyboards that used to have the AT/XT switch had it later removed from the board and jumpered inside. That is until the next revision removed completely the feature. Your Model M being PS/2 I believe is a later version that have the XT mode completely removed. However, if you have a AT keyboard can just open it and look inside if there is the AT/XT switch or jumper footprint present and can modify it. I find an AT keyboard from Compaq that had this feature inside (the switch was not populated but instead was a jumper wire solded) and I just added a suitable switch and cut open the access slot on the back. Edit: Actually this is the IBM PC and not the IBM XT. You are right, this is the original and the first one. I wonder if this can use XT-IDE to boot from a HDD or CF card.

It's so clean, it looks like they unboxed it and tossed it straight in the trash. Great rescue!

I B M

I haven't even gotten past the 10 second mark of the video and I can already hear it trying to boot up.

This was awesome. Thanks for doing this.

Just for clarification. The 5150 is not the XT. The XT is the 5160. So it is the REAL original you have there 🙂

You got lucky it is working. Great find indeed!!

Cool. This is where that all began.

Thank you for the mention, Jon!

Oh man those 1-bit graphics....miss 'em.

The sticking point is still the maximum 4MB of RAM, which makes running System 7.x, particularly 7.5 or later not much fun. If you want System 6 to fly, fair enough otherwise $130 might just buy an SE/30 logic board, which will fit into an SE case.

Interesting, love seeing stuff about mods...even from awhile ago. Always gives me more ideas and not enough time.

Well done vid. Thanks!!

Makes me want to go through my Macbook Pro is put this on it. I honestly don't have much use for it at this time but hey, it would be something to tinker with.

it's possible connect original disk drive 1541 with BMC64 and raspberry???

Does continuity camera work?

Great video! I hope you had a great Christmas, and I hope you have a Happy New Year!

Intel HD is the shit

Your daughter is so cute!

Yay
