Except for the addition of a built-in hard drive and extra expansion slots, it is very similar to the original PC. The processor was a 8088 running at 4.77MHz It was sold in basically the same box but there were numerous significant changes. Most importantly IBM sold the machines with a hard drive as a standard feature. Additional changes include the inclusion of three extra slots and the rarely used cassette port. The basic architecture of the machine was not changed. IBM did not specify an expanded form of &#8220;XT&#8221; on the machine, press releases, brochures or documentation, but some publications expanded the term as &#8220;eXtended Technology&#8221; or just &#8220;eXTended&#8221; The XT was regarded as an incremental improvement over the PC and a disappointment compared to the next-generation successor that some had anticipated. Compared to the original IBM PC, the XT has the following major differences:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of expansion slots is increased from five to eight<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Base RAM is increased to at least 128KB<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 10MB hard drive is included as standard equipment<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PC DOS 2.0 is included<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Otherwise, the specifications were identical to the original PC.[\/sayit]<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;museum_video&#8221;]<\/p>\r\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nSwXTkAGAu0\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;museum_video&#8221;]<\/p>\r\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V1qs5Z3gJ38\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=&#8221;white&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;396&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; el_class=&#8221;museum_item&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1618824403550{border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 5px !important;padding-right: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;padding-left: 5px !important;background-color: #000000 !important;}&#8221;] Model: Model 5160 &#8211; PC XT Manufacturer: International Business Machines (IBM) Released in: March 8, 1983 Specifications Processor: Intel 8088 Speed: 4.77 MHz RAM: 2 x 256K ROM: 64K Hard &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/emuseum.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk\/?page_id=393\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;IBM XT &#8211; Personal Computer (1983)&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":396,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"categories":[54,192],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/emuseum.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/393"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/emuseum.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/emuseum.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emuseum.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emuseum.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=393"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/emuseum.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/393\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2207,"href":"https:\/\/emuseum.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/393\/revisions\/2207"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emuseum.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/emuseum.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emuseum.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emuseum.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
