@rubber_jonnie, they were an interesting idea for a mobile PC back in the day. I remember the screen being a bit difficult to read because of a lack of back light?

Quite possibly yes, but nowadays there are other screen options

I did want an unusual XT

@rubber_jonnie well you've certainly found one. I think you'd like my Sharp 7200.

I certainly would. I do like the Sharp Mz-700

A bit similar to this:

I have one of these, runs Doom great and has a colour screen.

Woo hoo, looks like the PPC512 will be here tomorrow

[HigashiJun]

Great !

So, what are the mods you plan to do ?

Well first off, it supposedly crashes about 10 minutes after booting, so I'll have a look at that first, then I'll try and shoehorn the XT-IDE in. I may also see if a colour screen is possible.

Should be fun

I'll bet he'd only ever use it in C64 mode though...
