DESCRIPTION
Based on a high performance 16/24-bit Intel 80286 microprocessor,
both models of the 5170 are equipped with a high capacity (1.2Mb)
diskette drive, enhanced keyboard, ROM based BASIC language,
clock/calendar with battery backup, and keylock. Standard memory on
Model 68 is 256Kb and on Model 99 is 512Kb. In addition, Model 99 is
equipped with a 20Mb fixed disk drive and a serial
(asynchronous)/parallel (printer) adapter. Each system can be further
expanded through customer setup options. Model 68 memory may be
expanded to 512Kb by addition of pluggable memory modules on the
system board. Both models may be further expanded to 640Kb with the
128Kb memory option or up to 3Mb with 512Kb memory options.
Additional direct access storage is available with a 20Mb
Fixed Disk Drive, a second 1.2Mb High Capacity Diskette Drive, and a
Dual-sided (320/360Kb) Diskette Drive. A maximum of two diskette
drives and one fixed disk drive, or one diskette drive and two fixed
disk drives can be attached to the system unit. These combinations
result in direct access storage capacity of up to 41.2Mb.
DOS 3.0 supports the 20Mb Fixed Disk Drive and 1.2Mb High
Capacity Diskette Drive in the 5170 system. With DOS 3.0, the 1.2Mb
diskette drive will also read single- and dual-sided diskettes
formatted at 160/180Kb and 320/360Kb capacity, respectively. The
Dual-sided Diskette Drive (320/360Kb) option is available for
downward diskette portability with other IBM Personal Computer family
members.
To fully utilize the 1.2Mb High Capacity Diskette Drive, new
diskette media is required. The media is available from the IBM
Systems Supplies catalog with the following description:
IBM 5.25 Diskette 2HC, double-sided, high capacity, 96 tracks per
inch, soft sectored, P/N 6109660.
To order diskettes, contact IBM Direct, toll-free via
1-800-IBM-2468.
The IBM Personal Computer AT is also supported by two other
operating systems. Personal Computer Interactive Executive (PC/IX)
Version 1.1 will support the IBM Personal Computer AT in
compatibility, real address mode. PC/IX will be available in the
fourth quarter of 1984. The IBM Personal Computer XENIX* will support
the IBM Personal Computer AT in the 80286 protected address mode. IBM
Personal Computer XENIX will be available in the first quarter of
1985.
* XENIX is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
The 5170 contains eight option (feature) slots that support
feature cards for additional devices, features, or memory. Six of the
slots support either the advanced 16-bit or 8-bit option cards. Two
support 8-bit option cards only. However, both models use one 16-bit
slot for the standard combination fixed disk and diskette drive
adapter. The Model 99 uses one 8-bit slot for the Serial/Parallel
Adapter. The result is seven available expansion slots on Model 68
and six on Model 99.
Both models include a world-wide power supply and a
temperature-controlled variable speed cooling fan that significantly
reduces acoustical noise in most user environments. Both models also
include a security keylock, which, when locked by the user, prevents
removal of the 5170 cover, initialization of the system, and entry of
command/data from the keyboard.
The keyboard is attached to the 5170 via a ten-foot coiled
cable, permitting a variety of workspace configurations. The enhanced
84-key keyboard, with an adjustable typing angle, offers commonly
used data and word processing functions along with separate
typewriter and numeric keypads. Key-location enhancements and mode
indicators (Cap Lock, Numeric Lock, Scroll Lock) improve keyboard
usability. Special symbols may be accessed with a combination of
keys. Depending on the application program, from 10 to 40 special
function keys may be supported.
Exploring the IBM Personal Computer AT, a program on a
diskette, is supplied with the 5170. It will familiarize a new
computer user with the 5170. The program takes 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 hours
to complete. There are two versions of the program, monochrome and
color. The program is self-loading from the diskette. It contains
tutorial information on the keyboard, printer, and disk storage, as
well as DOS and text editing. It requires a 5170 with a minimum of
one diskette drive, 256Kb of storage, and one display adapter (either
monochrome or color).

instructions provided.
INSTALLABILITY: The keyboard is plugged directly into the system
unit. The display and printer are connected via option adapters
installed in the system expansion slots. Once turned on, the system
unit automatically runs a power-on self test to verify system
readiness. The system unit keylock must be unlocked to complete this
self test. If a failure is found, an instruction will appear on the
screen.
If the test is successfully completed, the system attempts to
load an operating system (such as DOS) from the first diskette drive.
If that drive does not supply the program, the system tries the first
fixed disk. If this operation is not completed, the BASIC Interpreter
is made ready, identified on the screen, and the system is available
for use.
