Modern Classic | New arrivals including an IBM PC 5150! Let's crack it open! @ModernClassic | Uploaded May 2018 | Updated October 2024, 36 minutes ago.
I just received a massive haul of new computer and game equipment, including an original IBM PC 5150, an Atari 800 and a factory reconditioned Atari 2600 with some rare games and accessories. This was meant to be a simple, short video going through everything, but you know me by now - I can't *not* crack stuff open to see what's inside and how it works! This IBM PC, in particular, has some pretty cool hardware inside.

This PC will be featured in more videos later, including one about the history of the IBM PC.

These computers have some unique history, as both were used in the Warner Communications Videotex tests in the early 80's: terrymcgarty.blogspot.com/2018/01/video-on-demand-home-shopping.html

By the way, those of you sensitive to the 16khz whine of a CRT will be happy to know that I filtered it out of this video.
