I've built up a decent machine from a 5150, but I didn't have to
upgrade the BIOS. But my Bios was dated xx/28/1982, which was important.

First thing you do is you get an EVERex Magicard memory board and add 512K
of memory.

Next you buy a universal Disk controller, and a 1.44M drive.

You now have a machine capable of running some **real** software.

This it how I upgraded my original PC.
