 pF> I had an XT case with an AT motherboard bought at a swap meet. Soldered
 pF> in fsaster clock crystal. Most of the stand-offs didn't line up, so the
 pF> motherboard was secured to the case with one screw and pieces of
 pF> styrofoam. An RLL drive that sounded like a bathroom fan, keyboard port
 pF> didn't quite line up, and once in a while you had to jiggle the power
 pF> switch to get it to come on.

 pF> I only knew one Amiga user, come to think of it didn't even know they
 pF> had a simple compiler for sudent use!
