I've been considering buying a PC/XT clone and came across
a GENERIC IBM-PC/XT. It looks almost like the real thing,
except it has a fliptop lid. The system board is supposedly
the same as the real thing except that extra memory can be put
directly on the board.
The one I saw had no name anywhere on it, but I've seen what
looks like the same thing in several magazine ads.
Some of the vendors I've seen are:
The Diversified Group (Los Angeles)
California Digital (Carson, California)
Jameco Electronics (kit form only)
Jade Computer (I'm not sure it's the same computer)
and others.
I saw these ads in March, 1986 Byte, and I saw the actual computer
at a reputable computer store.
If anyone out there knows anything about or has had experience
with this thing, please let me know. For $1000 dollars or less, I
can get the system unit, monitor, keyboard, parallel/serial/monitor
interface, two half height floppy drives, and 100% compatibility!
(or so they say)
Thanks much!
