The cassette port was AFIK present on all IBM *PCs*. They may be harder
to find now, but I probably have at least six of the IBM PCs with the
cassette port and the 5 slots on the motherboard. One that is probably
harder to find is the version with the 16K of memory soldered in with
sockets for the other 48K (?).

Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but if you can find the ones with the
cassette port easily, then I hate you. I've only ever found one, and the
case was in poor shape.. I pitched the case, but the mobo is sitting next to
me... HAH! Mine is more R@RE! LQQK! 37??3! than the Ebay one, cause I have
an 8087 marked "IBM".. Which, I must say, is something I haven't ever seen
before... And no, I'm not claiming that is indeed rare, beats me, I just
thought it was nifty... If I had kept all the PC stuff I had, I could likely
have made more than that auction, since I had the complete technical
references and troubleshooting diskettes and pretty much every genuine IBM
option you could want.. I have a CMI IBM HDD, and an ST-506 IBM HDD,
numerous IBM floppies, never have found the p-System, however.. But hell, I
had genuine IBM loopback plugs.. lol..
