I started to talk about this in a different thread and thought that it would be better to start a new one. I have an original IBM XT 640K machine. Recently I retired the Hard Drive for an XTIDE with a CF card. After some struggle, it seems to be working quite well. Since I have the XT open I thought that I'd attempt to repair the AST Mini I/O II I had in the machine. Long ago, it failed during a lightning storm. I would like to get the AST working again, mainly because of the clock.
First thing, I need an ISA extender board. To raise up the AST card so that I can check it out. I have been looking around on the web, but the only place I found one of these is in England. I was wondering whether or not I can find one here in the States. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mike
