I traded with this box for many years, can't remember a down day,,, (the box that is.... not my trading) :D

I can see that from the IDE grey ribbon cable. LOL :D

I had retired my similar boxes with Athlon processor and AGP/PCI bus. Let my wife use one for her internet surfing. Gave one to brother-in-law for his digital photography stuff. Gave one to 6-year old nephew to run kiddy programs. And save one as crash-n-burn internet downloader. :D
 
I still remember my old XT.

Keyboard... connected with a DIN connector (before mini-DIN 6).

Mouse? That would cost you a RS-232 serial port. A DB9 connector.

Centronic parallel port for the dot matrix printer.

5 1/4 inch floppy for software installations.

VisiCalc! And Pong and Pacman too!

Well... I learned my 8086 assembly programming on it. The processor was 8088 on XT but the commands were not that far off.

Not myself, but my mother spent about 40 years for the same company in the computer division, and also ran that computer division in NYC for Major Retailer back in the 60 - 70's. As a kid I would go to the office and there were endless amounts of reel to reels and these light- punch cards being fed into machines.
I remember binary codes written out by hand on forms.
I used to take old stacks of these to to have fun with.
