In another thread, DFS actually raises an interesting point imo.
My recollection of the IBM PC is a very expensive piece of kit, which
had two advantages.
1. It was IBM ("nobody ever got fired for buying IBM")
2. With the IBM name, the concept of the Personal Computer became a
serious, business-thing, no longer a toy or hobbyist or niche piece
of equipment.
However, I have another recollection.

Phil McGuinness - Sherlock Software
Phil,
But who is only just coming to understand this? The NY Times reporter or
IBM? The rest of us have known this for a decade now. We got out of
hardware supply precisely because there is no margin to be had. Dell and
others now offer a 3Ghz P4 PC with 17" LCD monitor for US 680 delivered
and with XP Pro. Work that ou...
pc.hardware.storage - backup strategySo here I am:
I chose to use 2 hard drives
one master & one to be used to store a "backup" of the
primary/master/whatever. (don't mention the war! - meant to say RAID)
How do I set up xp + whatever application and/or procedure, to create
the best/easiest/current capability to restore, after a hardware
failure of the master.
you may have seen this asked before, by me.
sorry
should be raid 1 but i may not have a choice, so was looking for
second best.
any recommendations for another group?

WTB: IBM PC Server 320 hardware partsDoes anyone have a set of memory card standoffs for a 8640-MZV MCA server?
They support the memory card riser on the bottom of the case. The standoffs
are included in the 06H8940 Miscellaneous Parts Kit but I don't need any of
the other hardware in the kit.
Thanks, Walter

IBM 3270 PC(s) [5160 XTs with additional 3270 hardware] on eBay UKHello,
There is an auction for three IBM PCs "built 1985/6" plus a printer on
eBay UK - the one pictured appears to be an example of the unusual
type 5271 "3270 Personal Computer", which is essentially a 5160 XT
crossed with a 3270 terminal and provides the functions of both.
The picture shows a PC set up with both a special type 5272 display
and a 122 key keyboard as used on the 3270 PC, though details of
numbers and cards in the PCs have not been included.
Seller is based in Lapworth in the West Midlands, pick up only. As I
understand these aren't too ...
OT: IBM 3270 PC(s) [5160 XTs with additional 3270 hardware] on eBay UKHi group,
I seem to be making posting too difficult - or should that be "making"
time for it?... That said, creating Time itself is an interesting
prospect, but I'll probably never get around to it.
Anyway, something has driven me to post:

Looking for XENIX or PC/IX for IBM PC.Hello,
I know Minix, but I'd like to find other UNIX or UNIX-like OS
for early IBM PC (circa 1981-85 or so). This is to study the
booting process and operating system in general.
Please let me know what you have. I offer my help to make diskette
copies if you can't yourself, for your own backup purpose as well.
Thanks.
Luc
