Hello,
I'm searching for my IBM XT-5160 the black harddisk frontplate, 5.25, full high with the IBM-Symbol in the top left corner.

Thanks

It will depend on which hard drive you would like the frontplate for... I have two XT's, one with a Seagate ST-412 (10MB) and another with a Western Digital WD25 (20MB) - the faceplate mounts fit different positions on the physical drives.

I assume you have a bad drive? Have you tried to revive the drive?

I look for a faceplate with the IBM Symbol on the top left corner for my new ;) Seagate ST412.

Wow, a new ST-412, where did you find that ?
I have two , one in my IBM XT and another I've
tested and kept as a spare. Probably not many
of these still working :-)

Oh no... it's NOT a NEW ST-412. It's new in my possession. :rolleyes: .
But this HD has no faceplate.
