Hello. I just spent several hours getting my "new" XT up and running (XT clone, AUVA TXM10-II motherboard @ 10Mhz, D8087, 3c503 Etherlink, ISA monographics, WD MFM controller, and MCT-FDC-HD4 floppy controller). The drives includes a ST-225, 360K 5.25 and 1.44MB 3.5). The MCT floppy controller and its on board BIOS works great). The only issue I have is the 5.25 floppy does not read/write when I set the computer to turbo; otherwise it is fine. The 5.25 (B) is detected by the card's BIOS but any attempt to read/write at the DOS prompt is met with an error--the floppies are fine. I've had this problem before when the card was running on another XT. It is not a big issue since I generally run with the turbo off (4.77Mhz), but just thought I throw this out to see if others have had a similar problem.
I wish I would have purchased more of the MCT floppy controllers when Jameco still had them!
P.S. Here is a pic of the XT.
