If it was IBM, it probably would have been a good thing to grab onto
(assuming the price was right!) I've been working with this stuff
(MS-DOS machines) since about 1983 and I have yet to see one. Another
thing I've been looking for without success is an IBM Cassette recorder
for the IBM PC cassette interface. I've heard they really do exist.
