About This Item

In 1984 when IBM introduced the AT (Advanced Technology) computer that ran at 6MHz, a security feature was a key lock on the case. It was a round lock with the IBM Logo in the key. I had the first one at the company where I worked. It became a status symbol to have one on your keyring. Soon all the clone companies were putting locks on the computer cases. Some were pretty weak and nearly any key would work. This key is from a clone that has long gone to the bottom of the heap. Twenty years from now, where will we be?

Picked up in a neat cache container in Jackson, TN. I used to have a key similar to this one. Had to explain to my son what it was for. Will move along soon.
