A++ (brand NEW in original box, item still in original plastic wrap with styrofoam packaging in very good condition). Extremely rare. I have not seen another one like it in anyone else’s collection. |

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). |
