- Ever thought 'bout opening her up and looking... It won't kill you!!
-
- On the other hand, one of the computers I own is a IBM 5150 and was made
- in 1985... Did they even have 286's then?!!
- It is the original 8088 running at 4.77 MHZ (replaced the 8088 with a
- NEC V20 for "improved performance") and works great as a fax server!
-
- I suspect yours is the same with a possible BIOS change, or did yours come
- with a hard drive??
-
- I recommend opening her up and replacing the 8088 with a $6 NEC V20
- to get what you can out of it (real simple operation).
