I mostly defer to Heinz and Clem regarding PC/IX. It
is hard to
imagine the IBM people in Boca Raton allowing the Chaplin imagery to
be used with a secondary product like PC/IX, but I don't remember the
packaging.
Here's something interesting from
http://vtda.org/bits/OS/IBM/pcix/documentation/pcix.txt
Anyway, the PC/IX binders were pinstriped, very dark charcoal gray,
with white type, and a bud vase with a single red rose, harking back
to the original IBM PC ad campaign featuring “The Little Tramp”
(Charlie Chaplin lookalike with a red rose); the VM/IX binders were
identical, except for a vase with a bouquet of red roses.
