A genuine IBM AT was up on EBay a week or two ago. Went cheap, too.
Heres an PC, an XT, and AT in one lot: 2785591645 There's not as much
stuff from that era as you might expect, considering how popular the IBMs
were in their day, but there is stuff to be had. Go get it! :) :)

haven't found a single one in the surplus places. Kelvin in
Atlanta is still finding an occasional one in the thrift stores. He also
found one at Weird stuff a couple of months ago.
Thanks to a heads up about this several years ago by Sellam, I started
collecting real IBM cards, software, computers, etc. However, it has
been a year or so since I've seen real IBM PCs or ATs except for the
PS/2 stuff. In this latest cleanup/throw out binge, at least I get a
chance to find and see it again :).
