“The Clueless Engineer”

Thought it was about time I see if my PC/XT works … and the answer is no. I checked my DE9 cable for video – it’s straight through so I think that’s okay.

It doesn’t beep/complain when booting without a keyboard, so I’m guessing it’s failing somewhere early. Disconnecting the hard drive…
