Early 128K IBM PS/1 with 5.25" floppy drive and
PS/1 power cube, PS1
keyboard (not chicklets), separate PS/1 color monitor, 2 PS/1 joysticks,
and a large box of IBM software (games and educational) in the IBM
The machine being described does NOT sound like a PS/1!
It sounds like a PCJr.
Did the PS/1 have a 5.25" drive (other than external)?
Did the PS/1 have a "power cube"?
Did the PS/1 have a chiclets keyboard?
Did the PS/1 have joysticks?
The PS/1 came after the PS/2, and may or may not be OT. Some thought that
it was IBM backing down from MCA.
Anybody in the SF bay area who would like some PCJrs? PS/2s? Don't make
me bring a big pile of stuff to VCF!
