Much thanks to the many who offered helpful suggestions. My original message was a bit vague. My XT (actually a TANDY 1000SL) has a 42 Meg IDE Hard Drive. The trick is to get FRACTINT.EXE into the machine (and also back it up). Since computing speed seems to double about every three years, I don't intend to plunk down a couple $K every other year just to keep a hobby machine up to speed.
