Retrograde Station edit / delete

A large collection of early PC "booter" games, mostly converted to be hard-disk installable. Useful if you're after period-appropriate software for an XT or AT. (Although this hostname appears to be pointing at a different site today, for some reason...)

Emulators for the PC and other platforms. In Javascript -- which seems crazy; I think it's more likely that my AT will still work in 20 years than that current Javascript will!

IBM 51xx PC Family Computers edit / delete

Manuals and repair information for IBM 51xx machines. I ought to get my AT up and running again at some point, now I've found all the bits of it.
