Any old IBM PS/2'ers here?

Just got back in the saddle with my Thinkpad. I pretty much created the FAQ for the PS/2 lineup in it's heyday.

An old mirror:

Anyway...just wondering if anyone used them. As a kid (I came from Apple //e's) it was fun to play with a computer line that could be expanded so differently.

Yes, I used a PS/2 in about 1992 when I was with IBM. IIRC it had a very early version of Windows which was upgraded to version 3.1 to make it more useful.

Yupper - had a boat anchor/Model 80 PS/2 back around 1994 or so. Nice unit at the time, but not designed to be moved as much as I was doing at the time.

Moved on, haven't looked back. Old 'puter stuff ain't worth pondering about, as it has such a short cycle life.

I used PC clones back in the 90's that I built, but have started collecting PS/2 machines in the last 5 years (Models 30-286, 60, 65sx, 70, 80, 90, 95 plus boxes of MCA cards).

I ran three Model 60s and a Model 70, connected together with a Token Ring LAN to support three key Fidonet nodes in Zone 3... very reliable and stable machines for their time.

But they built in a handle for those 'LAN parties'
