So that means two PC's I am after -- an XT and an original...
From the Vax discussion.... our one never had SYS$ anything as it
ran Unix from Day one. (Ultrix for a while until we got the BSD
source tapes then 4.1 .2 and .3) ..... a 'nix thread at least :-)

I think I have an XT or AT in storage, but I think that was a little
later. I got it from a friend a few years ago for the 5 1/2 inch floppy
drive which i needed in order to access one or two disks of a very old
software product. You are welcome to it anyway.
We have the AT (which was the 286)... It was the XT (I think)
<snip>
The XT was a successor to the original IBM PC. It still had an 8088
processor, but the power supply had been beefed up (to 200? watts from
the original PC's 65 watts), the keyboard layout changed, and there may
have been some other tweaks.
