I still have my first computers, a DEC Rainbow 100 being the first and
then the two "Super XT's" which were IBM compatibles, eventually
upgraded with faster processors and the MFM (?) hard drives to Western
Digital sIDE's. Plus all three networked. Portions of the Super XT's
got moved to a 486 -- I skipped the 286 and 386 steps. Like Ky I'm
somewhat attached to my first computers and they're stored in the
basement. Last I check a few years ago the DEC had an issue booting; at
the time other projects more urgent so didn't check into the problem.
