Description :

A preserved group of late‑1980s to early‑1990s boxed software, all sealed in original factory plastic, offering exceptional archival condition for collectors of early PC history. This lot represents major operating systems, development tools, and productivity suites from the formative years of personal computing.


Included in this lot

  • IBM Disk Operating System Version 3.30 Factory‑sealed IBM DOS 3.30 package, a key operating system release widely used on late‑1980s IBM‑compatible systems. Rare to find unopened and in display‑ready condition.

  • Microsoft FORTRAN 4.1 Sealed boxed compiler package from Microsoft’s early engineering and scientific software line. A strong example of the company’s development tools during the DOS era.

  • Lotus Metro A less common Lotus productivity title, sealed and well‑preserved. A noteworthy addition for collectors of Lotus software and early office applications.

  • Microsoft Windows/286 Early sealed Windows environment designed for 80286 systems. A transitional release marking Microsoft’s move toward graphical operating systems.

  • IBM OS/2 2.0 (Two Sealed Boxed Sets) Both boxes remain sealed with the iconic multicolor OS/2 branding. A significant operating system release from IBM, especially desirable in unopened condition.

  • Microsoft Works Sealed boxed edition of Microsoft’s early all‑in‑one productivity suite. Strong display appeal with period graphics and original shrinkwrap intact.


Condition Notes

All items remain sealed in original plastic, with packaging showing expected light shelf wear from long‑term storage. This is an excellent archival lot for collectors, educators, or anyone documenting the evolution of personal computing.
