Показать описание
I recently bought an XT with the promise that it was working 30 years ago. Before we turn it on we need to clean it up good. Can't wait to hear that MFM hard drive to spin up...

Dont forget to park heads on your hard drive. These early 10mb hard drive doesnt have autopark. Also scan it for bad sectors, maybe low level format will refresh surface if there will be many BB's.

Looks nice good old retro computer but big question is what can u do with it nowadays ? It’s very much useless 🤔
