The IBM 5162 XT 286: A wolf in sheep's clothing

Описание: The venerable IBM PC XT. It wasn't exactly a milestone ahead of it's predecessor, The IBM Personal Computer, but then IBM had a wacky idea, 3 years after the XT came out. This is the bastard child of the XT and the AT, and what a bastard it is!
