Don't remeber the model number, but the 286-based micro-thin PS/1 my
parents bought back in '90 had 13 disks for it's 'install/backup set'.
The system was about 2in thick, 12in wide, included a Mouse, PS/1 software
crap, IBM DOS 4.0, MSWorks for Dos, 1M of RAM, a 1.4M floppy drive and 40M
IDE hard drive. the included 12" monitor also included they system's
power supply (how the thing was made so dang small). Also included a
weird internal 2400baud modem with a non-standard interface.

The system got tossed (not sure I can say I'm sad about it either) when my
parents move to a condo a couple years ago.
