case was in poor shape.. I pitched the case, but the
mobo is sitting next to
me... HAH! Mine is more R@RE! LQQK! 37ï†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..
My 5150 has a bunch of aftermarket mods, including an added ROM, 4
floppies, EPROM programmer, etc. From what you are saying, I oughta put
the original pieces back into it, put it back into an IBM box, with the
receipt,... and find somebody with too much money.
