#R:pegasus:-32100:ima:17300002:000:701 ima!johnl Apr 23 15:27:00 1983 Here are some True Facts about the XT, obtained by reading the manual and looking inside the one I just bought: 8088 CPU, with slot for 8087 128K RAM standard, with slots for another 128K 360KB floppy 10MB MiniScribe hard disk RS232 interface standard list price is $4995 Inside it looks a lot like a regular PC, but with more expansion slots. Since you get 128KB on the motherboard, you aren't likely to use up more than one slot for expansion memory, which also helps. People who buy a lot of PCs tell me that if you order a regular PC these days you're likely to get an XT without the hard disk, which means that you get at least 64K and maybe even 128K standard.
