Siemens PC-X

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

A historical overview of the Siemens PC-X from 1984, an unusual PC/XT based on the PC-D design that ran SINIX (Siemens' UNIX variant) instead of MS-DOS. The article details the hardware, including an 8MHz i80186 CPU, 1MB RAM, 10–20MB HDD, and a high-res 640x350 display, plus non-standard components like a SCSI-to-MFM converter and custom graphics/ROM hardware, with photos and notes about emulation and SINIX boot.
