   Same here! My first buuild form a box of parts was an XT clone. My   
   current home build is an 8 core AMD processor using the ASUS M5A99FX Pro   
   R2.0 Mother board. I don't have a count of the other ones either.   
      
      
   HG>I went straight from the old time MFM disks to SCSI disks and drives.   
   I never had a SCSI hard drive but did once play with a SCSI Zip Drive   
   for a number of years
