I got this thing, and it seems to work with my IBM PS/2 286 (with 386sxNOW!). https://www.ebay.com/itm/ISA-CompactFlash-Adapter-IDE-for-8-Bit-PC-XT-CF-LITE-4-1-XTIDE-Bootable/283640778356?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 I already have a 30 mb HDD which weirdly still...

Is this the same processor that IBM PS2 uses for model 30 286...

Just got a brand new old stock IBM PS2 mouse. It was shrinkwrapped, never openend. Out of the box it feels sticky. Mostly on vertical axis. The stickiness seems to have nothing to do with the ball itself. When removing the ball, and running the rotating cylinders with my fingers, the arrow...

Hi. Looking for IBM PS2 8513 monitors on eBay. I live in Europe, so 220v. But most monitors are in the US. On the back they show only american voltage, but is there by default a switch inside these monitors for easy flicking?

Hope to find a good one, to fit with my IBM model 30. Intl. shipping.

Are there any other/better sites than ebay, when looking for parts? Right now I´m looking for PS2 monitor.

Is there any reason to run anything older than 6.22 on an IBM PS2 model 30? Does it run faster with older DOS versions? For nostalgia, I probably should run original IBM-DOS, but I like the Scandisk features (think it's called) and undelete of the newer version. What are you guys running?

I might be remembering it wrong, but on my recently acquired IBM PS2 Model 30 (386sx NOW! upgrade) the keyboard feels a bit sluggish. Have only tried couple of games, but I remember clearly how Alley Cat used to run on my long gone Model 50. The keyboard doesn't register that well, when holding...

I got this old IBM-DOS (PS2), computer from a friend, if I would help him to get some of the Word Perfect documents off it. I had a hard time working with old diskettes, and instead of deleting files of the diskette, I deleted a library of docs. But this IBM is running an old IBM-DOS ver.3 (I...

Hi there. New on the forums. I just got hold of a IBM PS/2 Model 30 (it has some kind of 386sx update, I think). Of course it had the 161 and 163 error at bootup, because of no battery for BIOS. I took the DS1287 chip out, and modded it to a 3V battery, like several guides show online. The...
