I restore one of the rarest vintage IBM PCs ever discovered—a mysterious IBM prototype or concept machine with an unknown history. After diagnosing a faulty IBM PS/2 720K double-density floppy drive with three separate faults, I repair and restore the FDD, then build and install an XT-IDE card and add a period-correct AdLib clone. This deep-dive vintage computer restoration covers IBM PC repair, floppy drive troubleshooting, retro computing, hardware upgrades, and a detailed show-and-tell of this incredibly rare and mysterious IBM. - PCB Prototype the Easy Way.
