 Sorry to differ, but from a collectors point of view the 2011 is
unique. I don't know how rare it is but it is certainly rarer than the 5150.
The item offered is of course useless because the power supply is in the
monitor unit. IBM calls it a 286 work station and it functions fine in that
capacity with a good display. The plug-in memory card behind the faceplate is
not found in any other IBM I know of and this machine firmly occupies a place
in the IBM portion of my collection along with the 5100 line and my few MCA
PS2s. I have a much harder time justifying my 5160.
