Hi All,
I just aquired an IBM XT origainal with Monocrome, memory expansion, Hdd, Fdd, and parrallel controller cards installed, 20 meg Hdd drive and 5 1/4 Fdd. all nice discrete logic cards, dust free and in excelent condition. The BEST thing I recon is the old clunky IBM keyboard of course :wink: . Haven't had a chance to plug it all in yet but no reason to think it wont work. And where did I find this gem?? Saved it form the Garbadge monster, hard rubish collection day is comming up and some kind old lady was putting it out and didn't mind me taking it. Scored a tosiba T1000XE at the same time, but I dont think it's working too well.
One question I do have, is where do I find info on the tape interface cable to attatch a casette tape to the motherboard. would be nice to make up a cable for it. I'm sure I can find some suitably old clunky casstte deck to suit the machine and complete the picture......
:twisted:
