Adelle, my email to you bounced (HARD!).  Anyway, here's the info:

The only FD controllers I have that provide for 1.2 MB and 1.44
MB floppy drives are sitting in the two assembled (and tested!)
machines.  I don't really want to take the beasts apart!

One machine belongs to a friend of mine who wants to sell it:

         Fountain 4.77/8 Mhz XT,
         640K memory
         One 1.2 MB floppy
         256K EGA color adaptor
         CGA Monitor
         Microsoft bus mouse (older style, not the modern sleek one)
         Standard XT keyboard
         30 MB Seagate MFM hard drive
         DOS 3.3

         She wants to get $350 for it if possible, or best offer...

The second machine is mine:

          True Blue IBM 4.77 Mhz XT,
          640K memory
          One 1.2 MB floppy, one 360K floppy
          256K EGA color adaptor
          CGA Monitor
          Standard IBM XT Keyboard
          10 MB Segate MFM hard drive
          DOS 3.1

          I'd like to get $250 for this one if possible, or best
          offer...

Reference:  I picked up the high-density controller at a local computer
            store for $64.99 ...

Perhaps you could buy one of the above machines (spare parts source for
your XT?  8^) ....

If interested, call me after 6P.M. at (908) 463-3273.
