I want to mod my IBM 5160
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I am looking for a skilled professional who can help me modify my IBM 5160. I am interested in making specific modifications such:
1.Install SD or Compact flash memory card reader through an additional ISA card. (Must coexist with my hard drive)
2. Install a Network card. Must be able to connect to the Internet through an RJ-45 cable connection.
3. Install a vintage PS2 Mouse
4. Install a vintage IBM Joystick. This joystick has the connection port with the IBM PCJr but not with the IBM 5160, we must find a way to connect it.
I will need your advice to buy the right devices on eBay or Amazon, and help me to configure them at hardware and software level on my computer (w/OS DOS 3.20).
Skills and Experience Needed:
- Expertise in working with vintage computer systems, specifically the IBM 5160
- Knowledge of compatible parts and the ability to recommend suitable options for the modifications
- Experience in installing and configuring peripherals like memory and network cards
Preferences:
- Since I am open to suggestions, I am looking for someone who can provide guidance on the best modifications for my needs
- If you have specific parts in mind that you believe would work well for my project, please feel free to recommend them
Timeframe:
- I have a flexible timeframe for this project, so I am looking for someone who can work on it as soon as possible without compromising on quality
- If you have any specific deadlines or commitments, please let me know and we can discuss further
If you have the necessary skills and experience to help me with this project, please reach out to me with your proposal. Thank you!
