ive had a 5150 apparently unused in its box for about 2 years now. perfect
condition and even has the cardboard shipping disks in its drives! didnt get
the documentation though. just recently i found a 5160 in its box as well.
its a later model with half height floppy drive. it does have a few cards
installed, but machine is extremely clean and no dusty insides. i assume it
was purchased as a spare and seldom used, if it ever was. i also have that
original pc keyboard with its crappy layout still in its box.
