Thinkpads Forum

I had forgotten that I had this rare beast sitting in a drawer in my office. The wife asked if she could throw it away. After I was done crying, I posted the goods to ebay.
Check out the auction if you're looking for some sweet hardware that can run AIX!

hello..

welcome to the forum..

that IS a rare beast, especially if it has a booting hard drive..
those SCSI drives are hard to find..

i had one which i sold for about $500 so let your wife know that thinkpad 850 is a valuable antique..

do you have any better photos of it.. a close up of the various labels and silk screened model numbers..?

mine was labeled as an 860 RS6000 (or RS2000, i forget which)..

I just sold my less than fully functional 850 so I am looking for one that works. On my watchlist. Thanks for the heads up.

And should you ever want the 850 HMM: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/thinkpad-85 ... ce-manual/

I've added some almost legible pics of the labels to the auction. The model is listed as 6020-960, which seems a little strange.

BTW: yours is an IBM Power Series 800 model, NOT an 850!
