|  USING FILES TO MAKE EPROMS FOR THE IBM 5160 (IBM XT)    |
+----------------------------------------------------------+

1. Obtain two blank 27256, or 27C256, EPROMs rated at 250 ns (or less [faster]).
   Avoid the NEC PD27C256, an EPROM known not to work on early 5160 motherboards (where ROM sockets have pins 1 and 27 tied).

2. Burn file BIOS_5160_08NOV82_U18_1501512.BIN to the first 27256, then label the 27356 as "U18".

3. Burn file BIOS_5160_08NOV82_U19_5000027_27256.BIN to the second 27256, then label the 27356 as "U19".
