The original Vectra was HP's first IBM-compatible PC. It came with an Intel 80286 CPU running at 8 MHz. The base model offered 256K RAM, expandable to 3.64Mb and came with seven expansion slots. The keyboard and mouse were connected via an HP-HIL interface. The original Vectra came with one or two 5.25 inch floppy drives and either a 20 Mb or 40 Mb hard disc.

Well, mine comes with a 3.5" disk drive as well as a 5.25" drive, lucky me. I have to wait for the seller to get me a compatible monitor, mouse, and keyboard. The computer apparently has Windows on it, yuck. I might need to get OS/2. The disks included consist of Microsoft Works, MS-DOS 3.3, some ATi software, and some misc. disks.
