Sadly, I've never had the time to do anything with it, and I don't foresee doing so. Here is a picture of one and some info, directly from IBM: http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/pc/pc_6.html Now, this thing weights a ton (>100 lbs), and I don't feel like packing it and shipping it. It is in Austin, TX. Although I have about $500 sunk into it, I realize that by not shipping it my market is dramatically reduced. Therefore, I'll sell it for $250 if you can come and get it. It boots into BASIC and runs fine. Because I don't have the terminator, and because the internal floppy disks hang off that bus, they floppies won't work until you acquire or build a terminator. The machine also comes with a technical and user manuals, although nothing that isn't already on bitsavers, I believe. There are also four 8" floppies, including a diagnostic disk. Cosmetically it is decent, used but not too yellowed, except for an unfortunate cracked off corner in the rear, which I still have. Despite that defect, it is still a functioning unit. !DSPAM:485a97a9310627316382964!
