I have recently bought this machine (eay sept.) and do not have a display card for it yet, so it has received only a few hours of use. What we have is: 1 IBM-PC with 256K (fully populated) on the motherboard and one 360K drive 2 One 10 meg winchester drive. Runs dos 1.1 or 2.0 Shugart SA-612 drive, DTC controller, IBM interface. I would like to sell this for $5,300. This gives you everything you get in an XT except the one serial port and the 2 extra short slots. It gives you 128k more ram and an extra chassis (both an advantage and disadvantage) I also have an AST Mega-Plus II, which has 2 serial ports, one || port and is populated with 256K of ram on it. You can add an extra 256K to this beastie or a game port if you like. This is $800 with 256K Why I want to sell and WHEN I want to sell. I want to run another operating system besides MS-DOS. Ie. Coherent. The problem is Coherent doesn't support my hard disk and it would be a hassle to prepare a driver. Just about every alternate operating system supports the XT, although it is more expensive. To avoid hassle, I wish to switch. There are no problems using my current system with MS-DOS 2.0, and you are welcome to come by and see it all in operation. If I move to an XT, my mega-plus with two serial ports is a waste, since the XT comes with one. Thus I will sell the mega-plus and move to something cheaper like a 6-pack plus or quadboard. All this is pending availability of an XT from friends in the USA. They will know for sure in a week or two. So I want to know if there is any interest in this system. Mail me or give me a call. -- Brad Templeton - Waterloo, Ont. (519) 886-7304
