- I am thinking about/planning to fix up an old XT and would appreciate any
- warnings, information, advice. I have old XT (and extra machine) with 40 Mb
- hard drive. I am planning to keep the power supply (180W), the hard drive
- (MFM RLL), video system, and case. And put in a new motherboard (386SX-25?),
- 1.44 FDD and controller, and memory.
-
- Before I go out and spend $400 or so on stuff, does this sound reasonable?
