Long ago my parents had a PC or XT clone (I assume) system that was recycled at some point. I’ve been interested in hunting down one like it but I’m not sure where to start. The only thing I can recall about it was its POST screen, it displayed (not sure in which order exactly) “Testing Memory” and a slash which repeatedly alternated being forwards and backwards facing (i.e. / Testing Memory -> \ Testing Memory -> …) before eventually giving the success beep and starting to boot from the floppy drive.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Unfortunately I don’t have any other useful details, I remember two half height floppies and no hard disk, and CGA graphics but don’t think that’s particularly helpful in narrowing things down.
