The XT-286 isn't particularly important to me, it's just something I
want to play with. The memory board(s) will go with it.
The PS/2 was my first PC. In fact, it was my first computer, after my
father's PDP-11/70. It holds a special place in my heart.
I collect classic computers. There's actually a few of us on these
lists. (Including Mr. Bill, I presume?)
Peace... Sridhar
