Mine has bad floppy drives. Hopefully it’ll get floppy emulator replacements soon.

    Isn’t it?!? It’s hard to tell in pictures but the floppy drives are 1/4 bay height, so half the height of a normal 5 1/4". They use an electromagnetic solenoid to move the heads to keep them thin. That mech is what fails, unfortunately.

    I even have a Titan QX-PC IBM pc emulator card for it. There was also a dual monitor display card available. It’s a really cool machine that nobody ever heard of.

        It was a trash find. Got the computer, keyboard, monitor, printer, and PeachText out of an e-waste bin. The other accessories are from ebay.

        It’s the computer I’ve owned the longest, probably close to 20 years now.
