WTB - Ye Olde PS/2 System for distraction free working.
Posted: Tue May 11, 2010 9:21 am
I need an old PS/2 system to run as a DOS system for basic word processing only. I'd love a PS2/E (first PC I ever owned, so small quiet and neat!) but basically any solid, reliable machine from the System 30-286 upward, Ideal specs:
286 upward
Able to take up to 4mb RAM.
3.5" floppy drive (essential!)
Parallel port for printing
Hard drive, anything from 20mb minimum upwards, in good condition.
Any video system, provided it will work on a VGA monitor.
No OS needed, will sort that.
No monitor needed
I know these things are heavy, so I'm hoping someone local to me (London, UK) has something, so I can collect. I'm afraid I can't offer very much for it, as it's for use (as a distraction free way of working) rather than collecting, roughly £30.
Hope someone can help. Would really appreciate it
