Guesses 4 and 5 were wrong based on letter eliminations but I needed letter positions. Got there eventually. #wordle

Well, I had the dip switches set incorrectly and it was trying to test memory that didn't exist. Fixed that and the floppy drives seem to work as well...

I'm also impressed that the Dell System 200 DOS 3.3 Master disk (circa 1987) is still working.

I hate trying to work with OS/2. I'm told this worked on IBM systems, but it's a pain in the ass on anything else. Right now, it can see the drive, crate partitions, but not volumes. And it needs volumes to install.

It's alive!

The IBM 5150 (AKA IBM PC) just needed two caps on the 12V line replaced. The monitor had some plastic rattling around in the case. Both of those were pretty easy to solve.
