Anyone ever use or own the Commodore Colt PC/XT ??

I bought one new at the PX in Hanau Germany in 1988, it was a dual 5 1/4 
floppy system with an optional 20 meg internal XT/IDE Harddrive which cost 
1/2 as much as the computer. I also went with a 8 bit VGA card at 640x480. 
It was AWESOME ..

I modified it with a Vic 20 chip which was a bit faster than the 8088 chip.

Ran my BBS on it for a year and 1/2 before returning to the states.

Awesome little machine.

My First Computer was a C-64 then a 128D then the Colt...
