I have an IBM 5150 PC that I purchsed in December of 1981, a few months after the IBM PC was first introduced. I upgraded it over the years with a hard disk, half-height floppy drives, memory boards, etc., but I have since restored it to its original state: one full-height floppy drive, 64KB memory, IBM CGA adapter. IBM did not sell a graphics monitor at the time; I instead have a cheapo amber graphics monitor.

The PC includes the original distribution disks and manuals for BASIC and PC-DOS 1.0, and a box of spare parts. It worked the last time I turned it on, which admittedly was a few years ago.

I've reluctantly decided I'm never going to do anything with this computer, and I'd like to see these items go to a good home. Price is not a big issue for me.

If you are interested, let me know and I will try to answer any questions you may have.

I know a couple of guys looking for a copy of PCDOS 1.x; any chance you could make an image & email it before you get rid of the system?
