Does anyone know if there are any remotely accessible PC or XT (or clones) on the internet?
I’ve seen a few emulators, but so far no real hardware.
I’d imagine it wouldn’t be too hard these days. An IP KVM, an AT to XT keyboard converter and maybe VGA card or one of the RGBi to VGA or HDMI converters out there.
If someone wanted to get fancy, you could have an internet accessible locally hosted FTP site that the XT could get to either with a network card or even a serial port or modem with a phone line emulator so that remote users could upload their own software to the HDD. I’ve even seen IP power strips/pdu so you could power cycle it if things got locked up solid.
