I uncovered the stack of machines. All of them are in fair to good
condition, but missing their hard drives. They seem to be intact
otherwise.

2 - Model 55SX (8555)
1 - Model 30 286 (8530)
1 - Model 30 (8530)
1 - Model 50 (8550)

Does anyone know why IBM choose to use the same part number for the Model
30 and Model 30 286?
