That's the original IBM PC, yes? What video card do you have?
and a 5161 expansion box, spare
expansion card and 2 extender cables.....
Very nice!
reading the classiccmp archives
back to 1998 makes me think I should be impressed since the 5161 isn't that
common?
Well, I have one, but then I'm probably not very typical! I never
saw one when I did PC and DOS programming back in the 1980s. One
or two clones with external hard disks, but no IBM expansion chassis.
