Oh, that's the expanded 640K machine!
Still no back light for the screen, but that's probably a good thing as there's less to go wrong.

Intro retro computers since before they were retro...

Re: What's in the box - a new retro purchase

This arrived today. Nice small XT-CF-Mini ISA card. I plan to mount this inside the PPC640 to give it an internal HDD.
