Meaningless without specifying what you want to do.
Hear, hear!
I wonder if I can find that spoof advertisment that appeared in
"Microcomputer Printout"... Olivetti had an advertisement in which you
"asked a computer" what was the best machine, and all these different
machines came up with the Olivetti M20. So Printout ran a spoof, in
which you asked a load of M20s what was the best machine, and they all
came up with different answers, because they had all been programmed
with different requirements.
For purist,
5150
TWO TM100 single sided drives
at least one added row of 4116s to get at least 32K
cassette drive
and,
a model M keyboard with working shift and enter keys
Are you sure? The keyboard I know as the "Model M" was the AT enhanced
keyboard (and with a different plug and slightly different trim, the
PS/2 keyboard). It is a total anachronism for the 5150. I'm not sure
it would even work with it!
