NCR PC4i

The NCR PC4i was a rather ridiculous example of love at first sight, and i paid accordingly!  I purchased it via gumtree and after calling the seller and convincing myself that he was legit, i had it shipped from Perth to Adelaide.  i still think it is a beautifully crafted and technically excellent IBM PC compatible.

This machine has monochrome CGA graphics.  The motherboard, together with the ISA cards, is in a cage that is removed from the rear.  Considering the all-in-one package (like a compact mac) everything is remarkably accessible.

I maxed out the memory to 640k and added serial I/O, game port, an ethernet card, and an XTIDE board.  It happily connects to my network and can be accessed via FTP.
