Pretty sure.  It takes all the 360K disks that I feed it, but when I try to
give it 1.2 Meg disks, it responds with  "Abort, Retry, Ignore?".

The machine isn't a 100% original XT--it's a clone brand that I'd never heard
of before (it says "DTK/ERSO BIOS" when it boots).  It seems to be a clone
of the later model XT--the one that allows a full 640K on the motherboard.
