Hello. From what I've heard, XT's practally line the streets in some
places. But, not here. :-( But, I've got most of an XT here. If anyone
has some spare parts, that they're willing to donate/sell, than that would
be great.
    What I need:
a HDD, as after testing the one that came with mine on 2 machines, it
doesn't work. It sounds bad, too. Preferably, one that's a 10MB, like the
origional IBM. I don't have any SW, so it would be handy if you could just
take one out. But, if not, I can try other things.
A Controller, one that can handle Big Blue's origional 360K
A second one, that can handle the above hard drive. (May not be needed)
A video card. I need to figure out what's wrong with my XT monitor, as it
doesn't seem to be working. But, I could just use my CGA.
    And, yes, I'm sure that I need all these. I've tried every part, and
none of them work. I tested my monitor on a friends CGA graphics card (but
set to mono), and the picture was CLEAR.
    I'm willing to pay for these, as they'd make my first working classic.
And, I know that beggers can't be choosers.
