CONDITION
Tested and working. Boots CP/M Plus from the original System Disk in drive A, and drive B reads disks and runs programs normally (see photos of DIR listings on both drives). Writing to disk was not tested, to avoid any risk to the original masters.
The 7" amber CRT is bright and sharp. The keyboard works, with its coiled cable and all keycaps present. Carry handle and front latches are intact. The case shows normal age-related marks, as you can see in the photos. Power cord included.

ABOUT THE EXECUTIVE
The successor to the Osborne 1: Z80A CPU, 128 KB RAM, 7" amber screen, and two half-height floppy drives. It launched in 1983 at $2,495, and is famous as the machine behind the "Osborne Effect", where its early announcement is widely blamed for driving the company into bankruptcy.
SHIPPING
The computer will be double-boxed with plenty of padding. Local pickup is also available. Sold as-is due to its age. Please ask any questions before you buy.
