This is a true "time capsule" estate find that includes the original matching IBM VGA monitor, a pristine IBM Model M buckling-spring keyboard still wrapped in plastic, and a complete library of original factory user manuals and physical software diskettes.This system has been tested, powers on cleanly, and successfully boots to the official IBM Reference utility screen. Finding a complete, matching IBM ecosystem from this era in this condition—with the original documentation and setup media intact—is exceptionally rare.What’s Included in This Bundle:

  • Monitor: IBM 8513 Color Display (Model 8513001) 12-inch VGA CRT monitor. Displays bright, sharp colors with excellent focus and geometry.
  • Keyboard: Legendary IBM Model M Buckling-Spring Keyboard (Part No. 1391401).Exceptionally clean condition and still protected by its plastic wrapping. Detachable coiled cable included.
  • Software: Original physical IBM PS/2 Model 70/80 Reference Diskette (essential for configuring the system after a battery change) and backup media.

Condition Report:
  • Tested & Working: The computer powers up immediately. The internal fan runs smoothly. The monitor turns on with crisp, beautiful color rendering.
  • Current Status: The system boots straight to the official blue IBM Personal System/2 Reference Diskette screen shown in the photos. Because it has been safely stored for years, the internal CMOS battery has drained (very common for this era). The system requires the configuration utility to clear the error. Fortunately, the original physical Reference Diskette is included in this lot, allowing the buyer to easily configure the system.
  • Cosmetic Condition: Excellent retro condition. No cracks or major scuffs. The keyboard is remarkably preserved under plastic. The plastics on the machine and monitor are solid, structurally sound, and clean.
