Yes...an XT clone that you built would be a good one!

I noticed that those XT's will run any version of msdos...even msdos 6.22

but those Compaq "sewing machines" will only run dos 2.2 (or something like
that)

I found one that was discarded and at first thought it was defective...
but just kept trying different boot disks and finally got it going.

I try to keep disk images of all dos version ...just in case I need them!
