Hi,
If it has a hard drive, it was probably not used as a
Tempest machine.
The TPC I have contains only two floppy drives, and my understanding
is that a tempest machine must have media that can be removed
and cannot have fixed media.
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.
TTFN - Pete.
