This was my first computer as well. I connected via a teletype and an acoustic coupler modem. Later, when I saw MS-DOS for the first time I remember that I thought it looked a lot like VM/CMS. The drive letters reminded me of mini-disks. I remember that IBM also made a version of the XT with a 370 coprocessor board that also ran a version of VM.
