This is the world's first clone of the 5150. It is also the world's
first Compaq. You have judged all of the specs correctly. It should be
selling for $100,000 on eBay, because it is at least as important as the
Altair. After all, this launched the IBM PC-Compatible revolution. I
would say this is definitely a must in any computer museum. However,
these aren't generally considered valuable. Go figure.
