I have a couple of these ;-}
What is the going price now ?
Regarding the floppy, the best source by far is
BG micro which is/was selling an Dell external for under $20.
The cable must be replaced with the proper cable from IBM but the drive is
an OEM equivalent to the IBM drive .
RamBoost is IBM's version of memmaker .
It fiddles with your config.sys and autoexec.bat contents to make more
room.
I believe IBM's standard DOS 7 only had a subset of the Pen extensions.
If you have access to IBM's Pen Dos, that would be very interesting .
I'm also looking for a pen tip , one of mine is gone .
Also http://www.onsale.com
was/is selling a PCMCIA desktop adapter .
It makes playing with the 105MB HD a lot easier from a file transfer /
install viewpoint .
Price has been $20 ish .
