My wife had one of these. She upgraded the snot out of it for several years, making it do things it was never intended to do. I'm not sure what happened to it in the end, but now I wish I'd kept the keyboard...

I wonder how good the CRT is.

Original box... was someone keeping this as a collectible?

And aren't those the ones with the PSUs in the CRTs?

Good point kishy...it was somewhat mocking and harsh if it was a genuine mistake.

Back in school we had a few of these same units to work on, along with a bunch of Trahs 80s, and some original macs. The things were somewhere around 8-12 Mhz and had 1 meg of RAM. I remember hitting "compile" in my IDE and going on break for 5-10 minutes while my tiny little project recompiled :(

My first buckling spring was attached to a PS/1... different model though. (ours had a hybrid floppy drive on the right side, with a flip-down cover on the top half.

My first buckling spring was the Model F I got from my schools dump. I was so excited -- even if I couldn't actually use it.

Pretty much the same. My first and only BS is a Model F I found on the way to school. Someone threw out an entire 5291 and I took the keyboard.
