AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fantastic opportunity for the serious collector:
An almost perfect Olivetti M240 desktop computer from the late 1980s. This set is in exceptional visual condition and is technically fully sound.
What makes this set special is the absence of the usual yellowing; the housings are still beautifully gray/beige, as they came from the factory. A time capsule in nearly new condition!
The set consists of:
Olivetti M240 CPU: Fully functional, starts quickly.
The computer is equipped with a working internal hard drive (HDU 1), which is unique for a system of this age. The system is provided with the original Olivetti Netherlands software. Very important: the hard drive has been software-parked (ship-program executed), which securely locks the read/write heads for transport. This minimizes the risk of damage during shipping or relocation.
The floppy disk handle still works like new.
Original Monitor:
Sharp image, no burn-in.
Original Keyboard:
Typing is delightful, all keys function.
Documentation & Software:
Original Olivetti Manuals:
Four rare ring binders (MS-DOS User Guide, MS GW-BASIC Interpreter, Getting Started, and the M240 Installation Guide). The binders are in incredible condition; some are still factory-sealed in the original plastic. The cardboard cover is loose and can be placed around them.
EduDisk Software Suite:
The original burgundy ring binder with 5.25" floppy disks, including the MS-DOS lesson disks. A unique piece of Dutch computer history.
Condition: No dog-ears, no yellowing. Fantastic condition given the age.
Olivetti Printer:
Included with the printer. Note: At the bottom the soft top layer of the printer has become sticky with age (a known phenomenon). I don’t know how you would print with it; the cable to the PC is not present, only the power cable.
Condition:
Very good, here and there some minimal light superficial scratches and stains that can probably be wiped away. The computer has always been stored neatly indoors, covered, low humidity, and in a smoke-free environment.
Shipping/Transport:
PLEASE NOTE THE SHIPPING COSTS:
If shipping, the parcel will be sent in 3 parts (outside NL) due to weight and protection. Pickup is of course preferred.
All components are packaged with great care and double protection insured via PostNL.
