It's been so long since I've last spoke of my collection, and so much has happened to them since then, I've decided to share again my small, yet hopeful vintage computer collection...
1986 IBM PC AT
Model Number: 5170-099
Processor: Intel 80286-6 @ 6 MHz
Math Coprocessor: Intel 80287-3
Motherboard: IBM AT Type I w/ 512KB RAM (piggybacked chips)
Memory: 2.5MB (2560KB) (512KB base, 2048KB extended)
Floppy Drives: IBM 5.25" 1.2MB / 3.5" 1.44MB
Hard Drive: IBM/Seagate 20MB full height MFM ST-506
Monitor: IBM 5154 EGA (Enhanced Video Array) w/ pitch tray
Keyboard: IBM AT 84-key
Operating System: MS-DOS 6.22, Microsoft Windows 2.03
Installed Cards: IBM/Western Digital MFM hard/floppy disk controller, IBM 64KB EGA video, IBM 3MB extended memory board w/ 2MB installed
This is the prized gem of my small computer collection - my first and most complete vintage system, I obtained it for free from a family friend who was about to throw it and a matching system away, and that's when my interest in my vintage computers began. I'm expecting the coprocessor next week so I can run AutoCAD on it and do some drafting. I'm also in the process of tracking down an original 1980's IBM dot matrix printer and plotter, to make this workstation more complete. All I'd need then is a nice desk to put everything onto...
Items Still Wanted
1986 Zenith Data Systems PC-160(?)
Processor: AMD 8088/8086 @ 4.77/8MHz
Motherboard: Zenith 8-bit backpane/CPU board
Memory: 640KB (on CPU board)
Floppy Drives: 2 Zenith 5.25" 360KB drives
Hard Drive: Kyocera KC-30B 33MB MFM ST-506
Monitor: Zenith amber monochrome CGA
Keyboard: Zenith 84-key
Operating System: MS-DOS 5.0
Installed Cards: Zenith floppy controller. Zenith CPU/memory board
This machine was entirely disassembled when I got it and I left it that way until a few weeks ago, when I put it together and cleaned it up some. I'm not entirely sure it's PC-160 because I can find barely any info at all about Zenith computers on the Internet, surprisingly (if anyone can verify that this is indeed a PC-160 or not, please contact me!). I might get rid of this something in the near future, I'm not sure. It's not a very imporant piece in my small collection, but it is something...
