After a lot of messing around with CGA->SCART cables and Extron 202xis, I finally decided to get a real CGA monitor for my XT laptop.
Finding a working monitor wasn't easy so I decided to get this complete system with an IBM 5153 CGA monitor.
Also tried out a game with composite colour, surprisingly it works on my TV monitor even though it's NTSC:
Overall condition is pretty good, think it will benefit from a good clean. The Model F is really nice to use.
Made in Scotland, don't see that much these days
Moving inside the case, this XT clearly had some TLC at some point. PSU was rebuilt only 20 years ago 🤣
NEC 720k floppy (works)
Not sure what this DTK card is, serial port but why the battery? Real-time clock?
Parallel port card (?) And floppy controller (?)
