Vintage Computer Spotlight

- IBM 5150 – How it works:**

- **BIOS (Basic Input/Output System):** Firmware stored in ROM, initializes hardware, performs POST (Power-On Self Test), and loads the OS from disk. - **CPU & Memory:** Intel 8088 CPU, RAM 64–256 KB, accessible directly by the processor. - **Software:** Runs DOS, supports WordStar, Lotus 1-2-3, BASIC interpreters. - **Storage & I/O:** Floppy disks, keyboard input, monitor output, expansion cards for graphics, sound, or networking. - **Overall Logic:** BIOS → hardware check → bootable disk → DOS → CPU executes commands sequentially.
