**Title:** RARE Vintage 1982 IBM Personal Computer Employee Software Submission Kit & Internal Ephemera
Up for sale is an incredibly rare, museum-quality piece of early microcomputing history: an original **IBM Personal Computer Employee Software Submission Kit (1982)**.
Distributed internally just a year after the launch of the original IBM PC (Model 5150), this specialized kit was provided strictly to IBM employees looking to submit privately developed software, utilities, or programs to IBM’s Entry Systems Division for official publication consideration. Internal corporate materials like this were rarely preserved, making this kit an exceptional acquisition for vintage computing archives and serious IBM collectors.
**What’s Fully Included:**
* **Original Pink/Tan Vinyl Binder:** Cleanly debossed with \"IBM Personal Computer Submission Plan / Software Submissions\".
* **IBM Software Submission Guide (1982):** Complete internal manual featuring a unique gray cover with a floppy disk pattern layout. Includes original technical charts (such as application space parameters for early 64KB systems).
* **Internal Letter from Joyce M. Wrenn (Dated May 12, 1982):** Original official correspondence on early IBM Boca Raton letterhead addressed \"Dear IBM Employee\", hand-signed (printed) by Joyce M. Wrenn, the foundational Director of Entry Systems Software Publishing.
* **IBM Corporate News Bulletin (Dated April 30, 1982):** Internal corporate document detailing the \"Employee Software Submission Plan Improvements,\" featuring a \"Copy: Managers\" notation.
* **Two (2) Clean IBM Employee Software Submission Agreement Forms:** Unused, pristine multi-page legal submission entry forms (Form Code: 926-2404-2 D 4/82).
**Condition Report:**
* **Vinyl Binder:** Excellent vintage condition. The pink/tan vinyl remains vibrant, the pockets are intact, and the lettering is crisp with only minor surface shelf wear. Some faint marks on the cover, see photos
* **Internal Documentation & Forms:** Exceptional condition. The paper stock is crisp, bright, and entirely unwritten on. Factory fold lines are clean with no tears or heavy foxing. The cover of the submission guide has a mark on the upper right, see photo
