I have one too many vintage PCs so I've decided to sell my NEC PowerMate SX/16. As the name suggests it's a small desktop PC with a 386SX-16 CPU. It also has a 387SX co-processor installed, 1 MB of RAM, a 560 MB IDE hard drive (~512 MB accessible to the OS), an Aztech/Packard Bell Sound Blaster Pro clone sound card, a 5.25" 1.2MB floppy drive, and a unique combo 3.5" 1.44 MB floppy drive and 4X CD-ROM drive.
Unfortunately as shown in the following video I was never able to get the CD-ROM drive working properly, even after trying multiple drivers. Maybe you'll have better luck than me, or you could swap it out from another drive. Everything else works fine, and it includes the original NEC 101-key keyboard with clicky mechanical "blue oval" key switches (which to keyboard enthusiasts is probably worth more than the computer itself). The hard drive has PC DOS 2000 and Windows 3.1 installed.
Asking $60 + shipping or local pickup in central NJ. PM me if you're interested.
