The keyboard that started it all. Do not confuse this with an IBM XT keyboard, which will not work. This is an original IBM AT keyboard that will still work with any modern PC system (use AT to ps/2 adapter). |

Excellent collector grade keyboard that has been unused for 25 years. Keyboard is brand new and has never been used. Keyboard is dust-free and has kept within protective original IBM plastic wrap. Original buckling spring mechanisms are in perfect condition. The original IBM keyboard box is also in excellent condition. Keyboard and keyboard box will be carefully double-boxed in larger exterior 24x16x6 shipping box and fully insured for safe delivery. |
