History #
I acquired my IBM 5155 from a retired IBM employee at the main IBM office in Norway. This particular unit was provided to him in the 80s by IBM and served as his personal computer at home for many years. When I picked it up, he was well into his retirement, and the machine had been stored in a dry basement in his house for a long time.
Original Status #
Remarkably, the 5155 started up without any issues despite its long period of inactivity. My next steps will involve giving it a thorough cleaning and conducting a series of tests to ensure everything functions as it should.
Current status #
The computers starts and work without problems.
