Buying and running an IBM PC-XT in 2020

There are a few 8-bit VGA boards with dual outputs (9-pin EGA and 15-pin VGA) that I keep in stock. Quadram makes them. That way I can use either the VGA on my KVM setup or a vintage monitor. I?ve also stockpiled various ISA cards like MFM, SCSI and memory expansion like BocaRAM or AboveBoard. In my AT, I have a Quadram board, BocaRAM (2MB) and an Adapted AHA-1522. Works great.

Having a real cga/ega monitor would be cool if I could justify the cost and the space, but a native fix is an isa vga card so that's my solution. I'm refurbing a 5170 for use as an imaging tool, ISA tester, etc. Best, Jeff Message: 23 Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2020 10:20:13 -0400 (EDT) From: Ethan O'Toole <ethan at 757.org> To: Bill Degnan <billdegnan at gmail.com>, "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Subject: Re: Buying and running an IBM PC-XT in 2020 Message-ID: <alpine.LRH.2.21.2008261019540.26445 at users.757.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed you see filming.
