Funny, I did that, too. This was right about when the IBM XT came out, and the company's spares room was a mixture of original IBM PC's, IBM minicomputers of various vintages, dumb terminals, and teletype machines.

I remember putting together a bunch of IBM PC systems, loaded up with all kinds of things they didn't need like SDLC (Synchronous Data Link Communicator) cards "just in case."
