IBM PC XT (5160)
In September 2009 I started to downsize this collection to a few items and then archived this section to its own subdomain at the start of October 2011. Remaining items sold off in mid 2024.
This system
Over the years I accumulated the parts for this system.
Unfortunately I never found the time to get it operational so in July
2007 I decided to take some last photos before getting rid of it.
Hopefully to someone who can use it.

| Floppy drive controller card. The edge connector on the left serves the
two internal drives. The external connector I believe supports two more
drives.
