hat's interesting because mine has a 10MB drive buit in. I didn't think
they came without HDs because they needed the terminal software, etc...

I think I've seen the monitors before too. I may have seen the
keyboard once long ago. But I already have an IBM PC which I
use to play around with CP/M-86 so wasn't sure if I wanted to keep
this. Of course the PC is a PC and not an XT. It doesn't have the
hard drive on it so maybe I'll use this one as a CP/M-86 machine
now.

I sometimes see the monitors. They're VERY
obvious. They are large with
an oversize square-ish case and a built in swivel stand. I'm not looking
at the monitor right now, so I forget what the plate says on it. But it
also has a big red toggle switch. You can see them from miles away.
Again, I believe there are other adapter plugs on the board, so other
monitors would work...
I've been running CPM-86 as well as other weird stuff on it. It's real
IBM so that early software runs well and correctly on the 3270...
