Can someone please bring a 5170 diagnostic disk?
Greetings, I'm planning on bringing an IBM 5170 to recap and restore this weekend. Can anyone who is attending possibly bring a diagnostic disk so I can get past POST after replacing the battery? Thanks in advance! Regards, Joe Giliberti
If you can find a disk images, and have a blank disk, I can create one for you this weekend with my Greaseweazle. Jeff Salzman On Thu, Feb 13, 2025, 1:50 PM Joseph Giliberti via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

That could certainly work! Does it matter if it's a double density or high density disk? I don't know what the original format of the diagnostic disc is On Thu, Feb 13, 2025, 1:51 PM Jeff S <jsalzman@gmail.com> wrote:

I think the 5170 uses 1.2MB, so the image should be 1.2MB. I use a 1.2MB drive to write out images, so that would work. If by chance you need a 360K, I can do that, too. On Thu, Feb 13, 2025, 2:18 PM Joseph Giliberti <kd2dhp@gmail.com> wrote:
