I just picked up this IBM 5160 the other day and I'm really excited to try and get it going! I am stunned the HDD is still working in this computer! Who knows when it was last powered on, if the head was parked, or how roughly it's been treated. I'll probably make this computer my dual monitor system once I move a color card into it since its 8 ISA slots make it easier to waste one on a weird setup like that. I'm definitely leaving the original HDD in there though and am going to use it. It's just to cool to pull and replace with an XT-IDE.
