Dear All,
my beloved IBM XT is showing some signs of age... the HD (with many bad sectors but steady for years) has some new (more) bad sectors.
I have some other MFM HDs... BUT I would not like to use them! My issue is that I USE this XT!!! It can write and read almost every old disc... (TA Alphatronic, Olivetti M20 (!!!!! Umbelievable), Osborne..)
I have already found a new 8bit IDE controller and this will solve my main issue (I hope).
But now I have an "aspect issue". I would like to retain the "old" look.
Do you know if do exist double 5.25 front panels with integrated led with the same look as the original one?
Thank you
