     03:37  IBM PC (5150) diffhist +10,287 Josh talk contribs (Rebuilt against IBM's 5150 Technical Reference (hosted here) and minuszerodegrees. The big correction: there was never a 130 W 'Type 2' power supply for the 5150 - the supply is ~63 W throughout, IBM put the 130 W unit in the XT for exactly this reason, and IBM's own hard-disk answer for the 5150 was the 5161 Expansion Unit. Also: three released BIOS revisions plus an 08/16/82 that may never have shipped (not 'four documented'); the 10/27/82 BIOS requires all four RAM banks populated; five RO...)
