The ROM say IBM 1981, this unit must be early, Serial

I was told by David Both that he used the very first PC off the assembly
line to write the PC Documentation. When I asked what happened to PC #1
after he was done with it he said as far as he knew the same thing they did
to all their internal use machines at the time. Stripped it for parts for
warranty repairs.

So I guess I have to find an original IBM CGA card
then and all is well?

I believe your VGA problem has to do with the
older IBM ROMs, I believe you
need the '82 BIOS to use a VGA card or any card with it's own BIOS, and
being as I have a 16-64 KB 5150 with the newer BIOS I assume yours will
work also, saying you have an EPROM programmer.
