Computer for sale...

(1 / 1)


I have an "interesting" DOS based computer for sale...

It is an 386/XT...  This is an 8088 based 8-bit bus with a 32-bit 16Mhz
intel 386 card mounted in it to replace the actual 8088.  The 386 card
is stuffed with 3 Mbyte of high speed memory.

The result is that this machine runs faster than any 286 machines out there,
but slower than an actual 16-bit AT bus 386.  It is has a quirk or two
which makes it more difficult to run windows.  I have purchased a copy of
Windows from Intel which supports this card and has the patches required
in it.  I am including this software with the machine.  It still would
prefer to run windows in "real" or "standard" mode instead of 386 enhanced
mode, however (it is much faster in standard mode).

The rest of the machine:
	2 20Mbyte hard disks
	1 1.44Mbyte (3.5") floppy
	1 360k (5") floppy
	16Mhz 386 with 3Mbyte of 32-bit RAM
	XT keyboard
	1 serial port, 1 parallel port (more if you really need it)

	The machine is ready to run EXCEPT that it has no graphics card
	or monitor.

Software included is: DOS 3.3, Windows 3.0.  It will boot up on the "C"
drive with DOS 3.3

This machine is the "high end" of "low end" machines!!!
$450 or best offer...

	Rusty
