I know because I bought it new and kept it all this years

The IBM /XT is a classic collectors item. It was the first computer to use a hard drive. Only a 10 Mg. hard drive, but more than sufficient for the programs of the time.Original cost was just over $6,000.

Original XT 8-bit bus, 8088 processor, and everything else that was included with the original in 1983.

The IBM/XT - The Second Generation PC

The XT stands for Extended Technology and was introduced in early 1983. It is basically an improvement over the original PC but not really that much different in that you could upgrade a PC to XT specifications with a few changes on the motherboard. As standard equipment came the tried and true 8088/4.77mhz processor from the PC, 128k RAM (Upgradeable to 256k), 5.25" Floppy Drive (Full-Height), and a large (for the time) 10-Mb Full-Height Hard Disk Drive.

IBM 5160 PC/XT Stock Specifications

• System Unit w/84 or 101-Key Keyboard
• 8088 processor running at the ubiquitous 4.77mhz
• 128kb-640kb Memory (Depending on Configuration)
• 5.25" Full-Height Floppy Drive (360k)
• Full-Height 10 meg Hard Disk Drive

There is also 2 versions of the XT motherboard, both released at different times. The Original was a 64/256k Max RAM on board whereas an updated Motherboard with support for the 101-key keyboard, 3.5" Floppy Drive and a few other modern niceties were included on the 256k/640k RAM motherboard released on 1986 BIOS date XT's.

These machines ARE NOT light by any standards. Considering what little they do, they seem really heavy. But this also makes them bullet proof when it comes to durability. Much like older cars the same can be said about computers "They don't make 'em like they used to". It applies in both a good way and bad way. The good thing is that older PC's usually always have something wrong with them (HDD's are usually the most annoying thing that fail), but the fact is that the motherboard itself is pretty much indestructible, no heatsinks or fans required.

The XT, is really the earliest PC type computer able to run the Internet reasonably well.
