The IBM PC/AT: Groundbreaking Heartbreaker

Library Technical Services has created an exciting exhibit showcasing the history and inner workings of the IBM PC/AT (Model 5170). This machine from 1984 revolutionized the computer industry as a fast and powerful personal desktop.

The exhibit, located in the Engineering Library, includes a Model 5170 with numbered markers, and a blue information booklet detailing each of the parts. A special thank you to Dustin Hoffmann for all of his time and work putting the exhibit together.

For those interested in learning more about the exhibit, there is an online library guide available at https://libraryguides.missouri.edu/IBMPC/AT
