IBM Personal Computer running DOS 1.0

IBM Personal Computer running DOS 1.0
Introduced on August 12th, 1981, the IBM Personal Computer (PC) celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2006. Erik Klein, vintage computer collector and Webmaster of Vintage-Computer.com, takes you on a tour of IBM's venerable desktop.

Erik has graciously allowed us to republish his photos and descriptions. You can find a much more detailed description of Erik's IBM PCs and additional photos of the other machines in his collection on his Web site Vintage-Computer.com.

You can share your experiences with the IBM PC and other classic computers using the disccussion link below this image, or on Erik's Vintage Computer Forums.
