Ben Jemmett did. Also I know that somebody replied directly to my
email address but something went wrong with my email program so I
could not read the message. Thank you for your reply, Ole.

Yes, it is a very good XT. So far, and after several years of use I
haven't had a single problem. But let me disagree with you about that
it's not worth upgrading, and I do have a lot of fun and run a lot of
software on it.

For example, and among other programs, I would run GEOS which would
benefit from expanded memory to run faster. I want also to create
UMBs, make a bigger ramdisk and a bigger disk cache to do things
faster.

You are probably right about that I would not find a EMS card
commercially. But I had to ask, anyway. And if not commercially,
maybe somebody wants to sell me a used one. That's why I joined the
list.
I'm not rich, but I still think that it is worth to spend some money
to have fun. I love this PC.
