Which would you choose?

There are some great pictures of the 5162 XT/286 at this site :

And the motherboard:

And if you go to the top level there are similar slideshows for many other vintage computers:

I'm still wondering if you could use larger capacity generic 30 pins simms in it.

Very nice pictures. I should take mine apart and clean it..

See now, Mikey99, that's what I'm talking about!

Thank you for posting a link to that gallery. Holy crap, talk about thorough. Each computer is treated like a model with many, many, many pics from all angles. Very useful.

However, there is no Epson Equity on that site ;-). That's up to me to complete. I will get some pics up soon. BTW, I remember now that it's not just an 8088. It's an NEC V-30 which is: http://www.nytimes.com/1986/12/28/business/the-executive-computer-taking-a-hard-look-at-the-clones.html

Gotta go. Seeya!
