CONDITION
New Old Stock (NOS) / Factory Sealed
The original retail box remains sealed in its original plastic wrapping. The packaging has some age-related wear, including surface scuffs, creasing, wrinkles and minor imperfections from decades of storage. Please see all photographs for the exact condition of the box and original packaging.
Because the package remains sealed, the individual diskettes have not been opened or tested. They are being sold as vintage NOS/unopened media. I cannot guarantee that the disks will function with modern or vintage computer equipment after nearly four decades of storage.
COLLECTOR APPEAL
This is a particularly nice example for a 1980s vintage computer collection. The packaging dates to the early era of 3.5-inch floppy disks and specifically references the IBM PS/2 platform.
The original 3M packaging, period graphics, IBM PS/2 compatibility information and 1987 copyright marking make this more than just a pack of blank media — it is also a piece of vintage computer technology and office history.
Perfect for:
• Vintage computer collectors
• IBM PS/2 enthusiasts
• Retro-computing collections
• DOS-era computer enthusiasts
• Floppy disk collectors
• Vintage office technology displays
• Computer-history collections
• Prop/display use
Please examine all photographs carefully. The actual sealed box shown in the photographs is the exact item you will receive.
Vintage NOS condition — unopened and untested.
