I just came away from using a PC XT (clone) that has a SysGen
omnibridge+Microsolutions Matchpoint+Central Point Deluxe Option board.
Has a 30MB CMI hard disk run on an OMTI RLL controller for a roomy 45 MB.
Actually, it's pretty amazing how an 8088 at 8MHz is entirely usable under
DOS (or CP/M-86).
Does anyone know if MS Network can be run on an XT or does it have
286-specific code? I can't recall.
Cheers,
