Added the following to my growing collection today :

An IBM (no model number) two internal side-by-side
black 3.5" floppies,
non-standard monitor connector, PS/2 style mouse & k/brd connectors,
small grey box, about the width of a normal keyboard, 5" high, about 12"
deep. On the rear "Manufactured by IBM Japan 1987" nothing else.
Sounds to me like an IBM JX. It was pretty much IBM's last attempt to get
into the low-cost home micro market. It was similar to the PC Jr in many
respects.
