As the title suggests this thread is for XT Turbo class 8Mhz to 10Mhz systems.

Mine is a Redstone Computers 10Mhz with a PIM-TB10-Z mobo, 640k of ram, TVA EGA monitor and card, XT-IDE 8-bit isa card with a 2gig Big Foot hdd, enhance XT class keyboard, DFI three button mouse that can be switched to two buttons when/if needed, along with both high density 3.5" and 5.25" floppy disks drives as well as a network card and Amstrad Adlib clone sound card. A has IBM Dos 5.02 , Geoworks Pro 1.2 and some other Dos software loaded on it. On boot up it loads a Dos mouse driver and boots directly in to GeoWorks. This is faster than booting MS Windows 3.x on a 386SX25 system.

There's a glitch in the matrix.

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s.
Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉

I am still running this system here: Hyundai SUPER-16TE xt clone: restoration and info
the only change is that I now have a NTSC 1084 monitor so I get color cga digital/composite on the same screen 😀

Well done!

Mine also came with the original User Guide and 10Mhz mobo User's Manual.

My PC XT "turbo" clone

NEC V20 / 10MHz + Intel 8087
late XT-clone MB (more or less similar to JUKO BABY XT BXM)
640 kB RAM
HDD: Lo-tech ISA CompactFlash Adapter + 2GB CF card
3.5" FDD and Gotek
Video Seven (V7) VEGA VGA 256kB
Sound Blaster 1.5 CT1320C
3com Etherlink II with AUI/RJ45 transceiver
(all expansion cards are 8bit ISA, to keep it "pure" 😉

You can see it running CheckIT here (it's the left one):

I have two: A Pacific Computer Systems Turbo XT luggable with original DTK PIM-TB10 mobo
and a Laser XT/3 with original keyboard, original 360k and 720k floppies, and manual. Swapped the dead HD with a WD 200Mb SCSI HD on a Data Cannon SCSI adapter.
Luggable: Re: What retro activity did you get up to today?
Laser XT/3, am using a Dell 1908FP LCD monitor on it.:

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun
