Last modified: 10 Aug 2007, 0:52:47 UTC Is that an XT computer next to Dolly ? Good eye. It's not a genuine IBM XT, but an XT compatible (10MHz V20 processor+8087 Coproc, 640K ram, 4MB LIM EMS 4.0, 30MB HDD). Have I mentioned that I intend to port SETI@home to it in my spare time? I'll need to put in a bigger hard disk in order to hold the working set. I enjoy a challenge. ID: 617323 ·
