Hi Moussa,

I have a 5100 APL/Basic 32Kb and an 5110 Basic 32Kb here,
Lucky You!:-)

Spend a long time reading ALL documentation and learning to understand
these machines, these are amazing pieces of technoly, incredable how
much they could do with so few components (transistors) !.
never seen one , but would love to :-)

The 5100 has a broken video card and by an wonder the 5110 card works
in it although displaying the wrong character set (but now I know it
is fully working), the 5110 work with floppy disks only (havent got
that yet)
have you tried to swap the eproms on the graphic cards?
maybe if you post some pictures of what you need we might be able to
help, most of us here are old school techies!:-)

To anyone that know where I can find parts for these machines.....
please let me know :)
try posting here, or comp.sys.ibm.pc.classic
