Vintage 1984 IBM PC BASIC Version 3.0 Reference Manual, Part Number 6361132, from IBM's Personal Computer Hardware Reference Library.

This is a genuine factory-sealed example, still enclosed in its original shrink wrap with the original binder (enclosed) and slipcase. The seal remains intact and undisturbed, with no visible cuts, punctures, or evidence of prior opening. The shrink wrap has some typical light wrinkling at the corners from long-term storage, while the outer slipcase remains exceptionally clean with sharp corners and no obvious crushing.

ITEM SOURCE / PROVENANCE:

This item comes from the remaining inventory of ABC Resellers, a Texas-based computer sales and repair business established by my late father. The business specialized in vintage computer systems, legacy hardware, components, and professional repair services. This inventory remained professionally stored as original business stock and is now being carefully liquidated and individually listed.

The inventory from ABC Resellers was accumulated through many years of my father's work in vintage computer sales, repair, restoration, and technical support. It represents a unique collection of vintage technology spanning generations of personal computing and includes systems, components, peripherals, software, networking equipment, and other legacy computer-related items.

My father spent decades working with and supporting computer technology, helping customers maintain older systems and sourcing hard-to-find legacy parts after many of these technologies were no longer readily available.

The specific acquisition history of this individual item is not known, so no particular acquisition source is being represented as fact.

Thank you for supporting the careful liquidation of the historic ABC Resellers inventory and the preservation of vintage computing history.

Please review all photos carefully, as they show the exact item, original packaging, factory seal, and visible condition.
