IBM PC (5150)
In September 2009 I started to downsize this collection to a few items and then archived this section to its own subdomain at the start of October 2011. Remaining items sold off in mid 2024.
This system
Over the years I accumulated the parts for this system.
Unfortunately I never found the time to get it operational so in July
2007 I decided to take some last photos before getting rid of it.
Hopefully to someone who can use it.

are for keyboard and cassette, the remainder must be provided by
expansion cards.

take up the bulk of the space, with the remainder available for full
length expansion cards.

| Floppy drive controller card. The edge connector on the left serves the
two internal drives. The external connector I believe supports two more
drives.
