			UPDATE 2: The floppy drives have been lubricated and work perfectly and silently. An Intel 8/16 NIC has been added, allowing TCP/IP network access and other such fun stuff. Next up would be an 8087 math coprocessor and getting the mouse working for some Windows 3.0 fun.

	I have a Zenith ZVM-123 green phosphor composite display en route. Hopefully, it arrives in one piece, as this was the display I had on my original [[IBM PC 5150]]. I also need to clean and lubricate the floppy drives, and would like to add an Intel 8/16 NIC to it, as well as lots more software. Having 2GB of storage on a 5150 is... trippy.
