Hey retro folks, I'm using my 5150 to post this via mTCP telnet! (WiModem232
was fun, but truth is the NIC is so much faster)

I've put together notes about the 5150 at a simple site.  Just a collection
of notes, celebrating the 5150s 40th Anniversary this month.
 
Learned that I can play MOD music at 4.77mhz.  Got this RJ45 NIC going,
got 4x disk drives setup (37pin to 34pin cable adapter works, woot!)
 Went crazy with the cassette port, loading all kinds of .COM programs from
tape now with the 5150caxx program.

Still a work in progress, don't be too harsh :)
I also have acquired an IBM 5110 (32K RAM and still runs well)
Looking for folks who know anything about them.  Specifically, trying to find
an external cassette deck for it.  And would like to try to make an SD-card
based disk emulator for it.
Cheers !
