Title: Lexmark M13 NIB - $100
Post by: JP on Fri, 02 November 2018, 15:22:20: You don't see NIB very often at this price. It does use an oddball serial connector for the mouse though.

Also, I realize that NIB still could have almost every rivet broken when I get it. But it's so pretty :)

I am thinking something like this would work for the mouse part.

For the keyboard:

A bunch of adapters...or use it with an old school PC since it comes with a floppy which I assume contains the mouse driver.

While you think on it I'll find something else interesting for sale to post here :p
