I bought an XT clone from CompuAdd in Austin ("Standard Brand") with
640K on the motherboard
2 Teac 360K floppy drives
An Amdek 310 amber monitor
A Hercules-compatible graphics card
A clock with serial & parallel ports
Total cost: $950.
It has been working for over 6 months with no problems of any kind, except
that it won't work with a NEC V20 -- it insists on an Intel 8088.
