I will shortly be in the market for an IBM XT clone, and what I need
to know is:  what's out there?

I would like information about the multitude of brands available, and
comments on their strong/weak points (i.e. avoid Fred's XT Clone
because the hard disk controller craps out too much).  Are there any
brands I should avoid?  Any considered better-than-average?  Any
advantages to buying the original IBM?

Please send your replies, comments, and information.  I will post
a summary for all to see.

Thanks bunches in advance!

P.S.  If you live in the Toronto area, details about dealers (and
      prices - I'm poor) would be appreciated.
