That's certainly not much to be running everything including the monitor
off of. One would think that with the addition of that CRT that they'd have
upped the power a little.

What about the other chip you said needed to be put in...how hard is it to
locate? It doesn't sound like the process would be terribly hard.

I've since learned that no, CP/M-86 will not run on an XT! Which is too
bad considering I have the full packages of both it and Concurrent CP/M
sitting here and the 5155 is the only machine that's even close to what's
needed to use it. Oh well!
