My Vintage PC Collection

[Cevyn]

After my Grandfather passed away, I inherited a collection of IBM equipment that is quite special. In near mint condition, and often upgraded extensively, my vintage PC collection has grown to include these new items:


This is the main portion of my entire collection

New additions:
2nd PCjr
2nd XT with dual 360k floppy + expansion chassis with dual ST-412 HDD
IBM PS/2 model 30
IBM PS/1 486
IBM XT Portable
Good selection of vintage keyboards, AT, XT and PS/2
Vintage PS/2 mice
A gazzilion IBM options, some in shrink wrap, a bunch of ST-412 HDDs, and more, to be documented…

He worked at IBM in case you were wondering

I havent seen those plastic insert able drive covers for the IBM's in a few years. Nice gear! Especially in that condition!

Thanks!

There is soooooooo much for me to go through, but I know I'll be bringing home a ton more floppies of software and IBM manuals, plus a CGA monitor, perhaps a monochrome and/or EGA, original PS/2 monitor, and a 2nd PCJr monitor.

I'll post what I find here! I'll be archiving the software (many hundreds of 5-1/4 diskettes) and documenting the ISA cards I come across.

Also, so far, everything has booted up...even those chunky old HDDs.

It's looking like I'll have the complete hardware reference library...this is just the beginning:

And a ton more photos of all the ISA cards and such I've come across on my blog
