IBM XT F - with computer attached...

http://huuto.net/kohteet/alkuperainen-ibm-pc-1981--ibm-monitori--ibm-nappaimisto/144838955
So IBM PC+monitor+keyboard 2 5,25" floppy drivers, 20MB hard driver, extra mother board and some books and floppies.

Keyboard looks something like XT probably FT...

Could be mine for just 105€ and posting...
So I should add something useless here yes? Ok, ok...

There were XTs with no hard drives sold by IBM. How they differed from the original PC (which was being sold at the same time) enough to warrant two products competing for the one job, I'm not entirely sure...

Ad poster also says 1981 which would certainly not be an XT.


Nope, since there are two floppy disk drives in that thing, it cannot have a hard drive, there is simply no room. Unless that's not the matching picture, or they have one sitting separately somewhere.

So whoever that seller is, they know nothing about the computer or it's a scam.

Acctualy I did bit sloppy translation job, but "20 MB kovalevykortti" 20 MB harddriver-"card" not disk... Probably something like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardcard
EDIT: I didn't even know that such things even existed... On other hand I remember playing with some old 2x5,25" HDDs in our basement as kid...


Still, maybe I pass it...

Well try a bargain or something. Those computers are good if you want something that is basically immortal. Except the hard drive technology back then wasn't as good if I'm not mistaken.

I had a couple of the PLUS Hard Cards and they were AT Bus. As far as I know they never actually made one for the XT bus. That machine looks like at AT.
