Yes, I had noticed that it appeared to be made out of standard looking
parts, though the PSU was different than the XT's, as I have an extra XT PSU
here I was keeping around just in case I ever had a project, such as external
drives or such, that needed one. I had forgotten how much the very early XT
keyboards left to be desired though!

Thanks for the info on the MOD! It likely won't be done anytime soon, but
it's a good thing to know about. About the only thing I plan on doing right
away is adding a serial port to it.
Since you seem rather knowledgable of the system, do you know why it won't
boot into CP/M-86 ver 1.1, but continues into the BASIC ROM after it checks
the drive?
