Getting an IBM XT 5160 with 10MB HDD
Added 2019-06-22 05:34:29 +0000 UTCThis was a rather spontaneous video because I was really excited to try this thing out. I bought it and filmed on the same day. This is also the first video on the new set! There is a problem though, the server is in the closet in this room and can be heard. I need to figure something out for that.
UPDATE: It's backed up!

I was able to do it using a 5150 that worked with an XT-IDE controller. I may make a follow up video where I go over how I did it in more detail and attempt it with some other MFM drives I have. Archiving MFM drives is a lot trickier than I thought it was going to be.
I also noticed a mistake where I misinterpreted the size of the files in a directory as the remaining disk space available towards the end. Opps.
