Perfect candidate for a vintage IBM PC 5150 or XT 5160 restoration project. Please examine the photos carefully to review individual logic chips and component conditions before purchasing.

The country of origin is the United States.

As printed on the bottom right corner of the board, it is explicitly stamped "MADE IN U.S.A."

During the mid-1980s, Hercules Computer Technology manufactured its high-end graphics cards locally in the US before much of the computer hardware industry shifted production overseas. The domestic manufactured origin of this graphics card makes it even more appealing to vintage hardware collectors.
