Sponsored by PCBWay: https://pcbway.com/g/ynWgss After years of searching, I finally found one - an IBM PC AT 5170, complete with user manuals, a printer, and even two 5151 CRT monitors! But it didn’t come without challenges: dust-covered components, burned capacitors, and a power supply that blew a fuse on first boot. Join me as I restore this legendary machine, dive into its fascinating history, and swap parts between my IBM PC and XT for the ultimate retro computing setup. Can I bring this 286-powered classic back to life?
