Manufacturer: IBM
Machine Type: Portable PC
Model Number: 5155-001
Serial Number: 0110380
Current Status: Complete and working
Acquired: n/a
Remarks:
The portable PC is basically a standard IBM PC with 256k and dual half-height floppy drives in a suitcase-sized form factor with a 5 inch amber CGA monitor installed. This particular model has been upgraded with an 8087 mathco and 640k as well as two parallel ports and one of the floppy drives has been replaced with a Seagate 20 meg hard drive. Unfortunately, the hard drive has lost its configuration information and will have to be low-level formatted. The case of the computer has a small slot above the floppy drives where several 5.25 disks can be stored.
