I very fortunately came into possession of an IBM PC-XT (correction, a 5150) with a Hercules graphics card, a Microsoft Mach 10 8086 board, an HDD controller card, and a 20 MB MFM HDD (or maybe 10 MB).
The machine is missing the original 360 KB FDD, though, and I'll need a way to transfer software to and from the machine. I was thinking a 2.5" 720 KB drive and controller.
Does anyone have a compatible 8-bit ISA floppy controller for this system? Preferably with a cable.
I looked for a CF IDE card, but they seem hard to come by.
Anyone have anything else that may help this system? I need a serial card too, and an EGA or CGA card would be neat. Even an original 360 KB drive and controller.
