Vintage IBM Personal Computer 300PL desktop PC, Machine Type 6862, Model 29U.
The computer powers on and produces video output. It successfully reaches the IBM startup screen and BIOS/Setup. The system detects 160 MB of RAM.
A hard drive is installed and the computer reaches the Windows NT Server Version 4.00 boot menu. Both normal Windows NT and VGA Mode were attempted. The operating system begins loading but eventually crashes with a blue screen / STOP error. Because of this, the computer is being sold AS-IS for repair, restoration, parts, or vintage computing use.
The system also reports “161 Bad CMOS Battery,” so the CMOS battery will need replacement.

* Computer powers on
