An in-depth look at the IBM PC 5150 CPU board (the main board, or mother board). I'm presenting the different integrated circuits on the board (Direct Memory Access - DMA, Programmable Interrupt Controller - PIC, Programmable Peripheral Interface - PPI), the two switch block settings, the jumper for the cassette output, speaker connector, keyboard and cassette connectors. I'm looking at different datasheets associated with the chips.
