Includes:
case/powersupply
NEC V20 (accelerated 8088 chip)
640k RAM
2 Teac FD55BV floppy drives and controller card
30Meg RLL 5.25" half height hard drive (Microscience?)
WD1002 HD controller card
2s/1p/1g multi IO card
Tseng ET2000 based CGA card
Modem of unknown speed (probably 1200 baud)
Logitech mouse interface card

    ...and probably more that I'm forgetting at this moment

Everything (amazingly) still works.  Just before Christmas,
I connected a parallel port Zip drive, downloaded the drivers
via serial cable and copied the hard drive to a Zip
disk (took all night too).  Date codes silkscreened on the
top of some of the chips indicate a probable construction
somewhere around early 1985.

Price: <b>***FREE***</b>.  You haul.  Located in San Diego.  (in case
this message gets outside of my intended distribution and you
really really really want it: you pay any and all shipping/boxing
charges) Keyboard, mouse and monitor not included.  Modern
keyboards will work with this machine.

Warning: The video card requires a monitor that can handle
digital inputs at CGA frequencies.  Even though modern SVGA
multi-sync monitors may be able to handle CGA frequencies,
they often use incompatible analog inputs.  If you require
a compatible monitor, I have a Sony CPD-1302 which is
capable of handling both CGA and VGA style inputs that I can
sell you for $50.
