I found a bunch of XTs in Tempest casings at a scrapyard in Oxfordshire about 6
years ago. All of these machines had a single 360K floppy, a pair of Bernoulli
removable drives and (I think) a tape drive.
No fixed media in sight!
Didn't find anything other than the machines themselves though, IE no
keyboards, monitors.
