I've got both, but IBM did away with the cassette interface when they
introduced the XT, so you won't find such a thing. I was only offered on
the PC (5150, I believe). Of course you could always find a PC with a
memory board that's got 640K of RAM. How you'd load ELKS from cassette to
memory using ROM BASIC is beyond me though :)

Yea, no kidding, think what those 10 meg hard drives cost!
