Most PS/2 machines have it. Only the absolute latest ones, like the 85

it only disappeared completely when IBM stopped using BIOS that were
written specifically for each machine and moved to something "standardized".
They don't have the cassette port, though, of course.

Including ROM BASIC that writes and
reads cassette tapes?
