Hello All,
If you are into old IBM PC stuff have I got a deal for you!
I was recently contacted by someone who had the following to say:
Follow-up conversations yielded:
He posted the pictures at:

I'm pretty sure the PC is an original 16-64K motherboard unit which is nice and the expansion chassis itself is also quite desireable.
Add in all of the software and other stuff and this is quite a nice haul for someone into early PCs.
Of course you're also going to grab some later x86 boxes to sweeten the deal.
I can't tell from the pictures but I wouldn't bet money against there being a copy of DOS 1.0 in the stack as well. Most of the 16K PCs shipped with that or 1.1!
Please don't bug Joe if you can't take everything or if you're trying to arrange something odd. If you can go and grab this gear from him please email joeNOSPAM@NOSPAMjoethejuggler.com and good luck!
Erik
If you are into old IBM PC stuff have I got a deal for you!
I was recently contacted by someone who had the following to say:
I inherited quite a lot of vintage pc stuff. I believe there are 2 complete IBM PCs (the first one)--tons of software, books, peripheral hardware (various joysticks, cables and such), and boxes of network cards and so on.
If you are interested, let me know. I'll try to photograph everything and post it on my server.
It would be quite a lot to ship, so ideally it would be great if there's anyone in my neck of the woods (St. Louis--the Midwest in general) who wants it. I really need to find a home for it all. I am not selling it--but if it ships, I'd need someone to pay at least some of the shipping costs.
Follow-up conversations yielded:
I'm not so interested in selling any of it. I got it for nothing, and I'm happy to pass it along (as long as whoever takes it is willing to take it all).
I'll post some photos tomorrow some time so you can see what everything is.
If there's anyone in or near St. Louis that's interested, they're welcome to it!
