Here is one of many YouuTube videos:

The original 12v AC Adapter isn't available but I've included one.
The system is largely untested for the most part, but turns on, boots up, etc, The pens don't seem to work at the moment, but then again, the batteries are most likely 20+ years old. The batteries, don't seem to hold a charge, but the AC works fine. Also it appears the keyboard is touchy, some buttons only work when they want, but it may just need to be cleaned. A normal PS/2 keyboard works fine.
Own a piece of history!!!
