Pretty early M here, looks to be in great shape.

The seller originally had it posted as a PS/2 model, so I wrote him that it's a terminal board and wouldn't work on a PC without modification.

Definitely seems in mint condition though. I think he has two or three of them up.

Yep, but the other two are '91.  Mint in box though.

November 85?  ****, that's my birthday board...or close enough.  It looks like it's off by 6 days.

Your chances of finding a KB closer to your birthday are somewhat slim: this was manufactured before IBM started ramping up their production. If you're interested in such things, now would be the time to get it.
