This was my first IBM compatible PC.

This was my first IBM compatible PC. Our school had these models in computer class too. The Coleco Adam was short lived once IBM Compatible computers became popular in local stores and schools.
Still works and I play games on it often. I did get an upgraded video Hercules card for it, I cannot recall details. I plan on opening it up and documenting. 5 1/4" floppies are hard to find these days.

@jnv Loved playing Test Drive

@humanhorseshoes Me too. When I saw my friend playing it on his own IBM I fell in love. I also play Karateka too on this.

@jnv We had a Ming 8086 clone made in China. Have never heard of this brand ever again.

@humanhorseshoes Sanyo seemed popular at that time but wasn't around long. The name brands were so expensive and this model was already a stretch for many households as I recall at the time. I had a Epson dot matrix printer too.
