The last time I spoke to my IBM dealer(s) about this they had the best laugh
of the week, went so far as to put me on the speaker phone & repeat it for the
rest of the boys 8-).  Well, in short, good luck, but give it a try.
The computer shopper usually has a add for a couple places that have these.
I believe one of them is mendelson electronics.
I think, however that I would take this opportunity to dump the ibm roms &
get a good clone set.  Jameco sells the ami & pheonix sets for about $ 25.
As far as I can tell, all you'll lose is ibm rom basic.  Big deal (to me) I
prefer microsoft basic (gw) to it anyway.
I actually do have a pheonix version 2.0 (Both I think) bios rom &
a ibm 256K motherboard rom set  that I would be willing to sell, as is, but
both were working when pulled & upgraded.
