Keeping garden paint locked indoors is very bad for its mental health. I recommend letting the computer run around and play in the rain a bit from time to time.
Nice, you finally got one! Saw the community post I got one a few years ago from a house clearance for £35. Similar revision to yours but mine has the 220v and the motherboard has amber silkscreen like the cha cards do
The experience Doom 8088 reminds me of me attempting to play Half-Life back in the day on a Cyrix MII in software mode because the integrated uh... SiS or S3? (can't remember) directX capable "GPU" wasn't working in any acceleration mod for some software related reason. That was depressing.
Always a pleasure seeing a new video from you sir! Excellent job with the case restoration. I'd love to see follow up videos if you do upgrades on this beautiful 5150. Consider getting a NEC V20 CPU in there, also maybe a blanking plate for the empty drive bay, sound card in that pico mem, PSU hack (pico psu or something in the original PSU shell?) etc etc.
looking good! Adrian Black recently did an episode about a 286 accelerator card that really speeds up 5150s. could be a cool addition if you can find one. maybe even let you play Doom 8088 lol
One of several things I regret taking to the tip :-( I was on work experience at the local uni through my college course in the mid 90's. They were clearing them out and the guy from the electrical engineering department offered me one. If I recall it even had a hard drive in it. Albeit a small one. It would have been a nice system to tinker with, or to pass on to someone else who wanted one. I recall that CLUNK of the power switch though. EDIT: I say "small" hard drive, I meant capacity. The sodding thing took up two 5.25" drive bays... although I know technically that is one bay as everything "modern" is really a half height drive.
That 301 error, without a byte code in front of it is a general keyboard error, interesting that the keyboard still works, but something about your adapter is not liked by the BIOS. That 131 error is most likely due to the lack of -5V, so stick with the 63W PSU it came with, and it'll more than likely go away. Also, FWIW those floppy drives are definitely not original to the system, my guess is someone upgraded that system to include a HDD, but did not want to lose the dual floppies, so they switched them out with the two half heigh drives, and put in a full height HDD. Must have taken it out at some point for some reason, along with it's controller. Nice machine though!
@@JarrodCoombes ah interesting, possibly I just didn't have the keyboard plugged in at that point. But my adapter does do things slightly differently from an official one (clock idle is high instead of low) so it could be that, I'll need to investigate
Aha, it would appear I'm not sending the self-test (0xAA) byte properly, my previous XT clone didn't require that but the 5150 complains about it. Good spot!
@@TheRasteri Awesome! I think you said you were going to sell those? Or does someone else sell in a kit or completed? I definitely want to buy one. Super useful on my repair bench where I bounce between XT/AT, PS2 and USB systems.
I opened one of these up in the late-90s, back when Y2K was big talk. The owner said something was wrong with it, that it just didn't work. Vague, as usual. But I couldn't find any problems, everything looked okay, it booted up fine. It turned out he had been informed nearly two decades earlier that this was a powerful home computer so he was baffled that it couldn't run Windows 98.
I have an IBM 5160 (w/hard drive and extended RAM) I bought new in 1985, I recently bought a clone IBM 5170 (W/IBM monitor and keyboard) with Turbo clocking, and just picked up a Packard Bell system complete with monitor and speakers. Now I can play all those games from the 80s and 90s that won't play in virtual environments!
@@FooneTuring It may take some doing if we want to do it properly... The cassette port goes via the 8255 PIT and that address range is claimed by the 8048 keyboard controller on post-AT PCs. So maybe the 8048 could be reprogrammed to support it. (The 8048 even exists inside many modern integrated chipsets so it would be a universal-ish solution)
@@TheRasteri yeah you're only going to be able to use it from a patched basic or that cassette control program anyway, so sticking it at a different port makes sense
@@TheRasteri I've just released a version of Doom8088 that runs in the 40x25 16 color text mode. I've tried it in MartyPC and I wouldn't call it playable.
I did this in my backyard, mine was worse than yours...it did not work well, tried 2 times, wasted enormous amount of money and time and frustation and looked like crap Ended bringing to a shop for paint, cost me way more than buying a decent IBM pc one, stupid decisions. Very cool video, however! Love ibms pc
I look forward to your 65536 subscriber celebration!
Hopefully it won't wrap around to 0 😆
@doslogo It will happen on 1048576 subscribers if Rasteri doesn't open a 20 gate for us!😅

At least store it near the window so it can get some sunshine.
Very surprised to see Keen working quite well on such a slow system!
Good job TheRusteri! :p
Really like your videos about restoring old hardware!

@@blakecasimir yeah I definitely plan to do most of those things!
Love the Pico! Nice to see this implanted. 👍 Another RUclipsr did a video on this board. I use a number of Pico's for various projects.
you probably shouldn't call it "hidman" because i don't want to end up on a list for googling it

Hey you're back. I thought you died or something. I'm glad you're alive. I need to pull the old PC parts I have in the attic out and see what works.

Really great video, I've never seen the first IBM PC in a video so this was a delight :) cheers dude! :)
The HIDMAN is awesome and I can't wait for the video
Great video and congrats on the 32,768!
I don't ever remember hearing about cable management back in the day. All we cared about was that everything fit in the case and nothing overheated.
I came here for the cool vestax mods, I stayed for the cool DOS computer videos, simple as ❤❤
Big congrats on 32k mate
It's the tantalums on the 12v rail that are liable to blow, not the 5v ones.

Yesssss build the modern cassette port. Save me from having to do it
@@FooneTuring It may take some doing if we want to do it properly... The cassette port goes via the 8255 PIT and that address range is claimed by the 8048 keyboard controller on post-AT PCs. So maybe the 8048 could be reprogrammed to support it. (The 8048 even exists inside many modern integrated chipsets so it would be a universal-ish solution)
@@FooneTuring or just say screw it, move the pit to a different address and patch the cassette BASIC ROM... Probably a more sensible solution...
@@TheRasteri yeah you're only going to be able to use it from a patched basic or that cassette control program anyway, so sticking it at a different port makes sense
@@FooneTuring it doesn't need DMA does it? So technically it would be usable over LPC... Maybe TPM to cassette adapter?
@@TheRasteri yeah I don't think it uses DMA. It's built on the same hardware as the PC speaker, and that is famously DMA-less
The hidman is quite cool. Do you plan on adding additional protocols? f.e. SUN, amiga mouse etc .?
@@dolphhandcreme yes I hope so! It should be easily adaptable to other computers
I'm glad you had a good laugh playing Doom8088. Did you zoom in or something? Usually there's a black border around the screen.
@@DookNookim movie magic :) all the screen footage was filmed in a dark room to avoid reflections, then comped in to a static shot of the pc/monitor

paint looks ok ! ( i was using wall emulsion once ;) )
LIMMY MENTIONED LLOYDPHARMACYONEWORD 🗣🗣
Thank you.
👏👏👏
I started out working on XTs, this 5150 was in a bit worse shape than any 5160 I had come in back then though.
Very much looking forward to that Hidman video.
Great Video
Oh hey, it's been a hot minute.
What a beautiful machine.
Lernt multiple new things like that Serial Port Pin-out and HIDman project.
Thanks a lot.
A 120v pc from a Clinton… hmmm
It's not LGR :)
I had the same thought 😅
Would hidman work with weecee and usb keyboard and mouse?
yep. in fact that's why I designed it really
Wow what a tired old blurry monitor. Probably spent 1000s of hours doing like, payroll or something. :p
noice
Great
6:40 wonder what the neighbour thinks of you lol 😉
