I recently fried one of the ROMs in my IBM PC and would like to find a
replacement chip. The markings on it are:
XE 5000019
IBM CORP
1981, 1983
M 8327E N M
If you have one or know where I might purchase one please send email.

The last time I spoke to my IBM dealer(s) about this they had the best laugh of the week, went so far as to put me on the speaker phone & repeat it for the rest of the boys 8-). Well, in short, good luck, but give it a try. The computer shopper usually has a add for a couple places that have these. I believe one of them is mendelson electronics. I think, however that I would take this opportunity to dump the ibm roms & get a good clone set. Jameco sells the ami & pheonix sets for about $ 25. As far as I can tell, all you'll lose is ibm rom basic. Big deal (to me) I prefer microsoft basic (gw) to it anyway. I actually do have a pheonix version 2.0 (Both I think) bios rom & a ibm 256K motherboard rom set that I would be willing to sell, as is, but both were working when pulled & upgraded. al
