Ah ah too late i got one in 1990 when I was just a kit. It was obsolete after 6 months but I loved it and it still works after all these years.;-)

Thanks for the info, I wonder if these switches are also found in my original mitsubishi drive. I think first thing I'm going to try a recap because adapting a modern floppy sounds like a dead end.

Hi, sorry for resurrecting this old thread 😅 it’s just I‘m really struggling with this machine. I bought it because I thought it would have been similar to my old ps/1 but nope, this is a completely different world. Im getting some advice on another thread, but Like you said 99% is old caps on...

Hi, the other drives don’t have any switch, I think the cable adapter I made is not wiring some pins like you said. I assumed I just had to ground pin 4 and divert the power but then I saw some videos where they connect some even pins to the +5 v, through some resistors so that might be causing...

Ok so I’ve tried swapping the Dallas chips and didn’t change much except an error while doing The memory count. Your answer would explain why I get this error, I assumed that ps/1 floppy drive was quite similar to the ps/2 ( the model I own it’s only a year older than the ps/1 2011) but...

Yes and you’re right about the floppy not working in the ps/1 , the catch 22 is that in the ps/2 you can only run the setup from a special starter floppy, that’s why I’m stuck. What I might do is swap the ps/2 Dallas with the ps/1 one and see if that changes anything. The thing is I thought...

Hi, thanks for the reply. Ok probably using a standard more modern floppy drive I have to give the ibm some sort of signal that I’ve inserted a 1.44 floppy. Unfortunately It is critical because even if I press f1 and it boots on the hard drive, I can’t use the floppy, it gives me a generic...

Hi, did you ever manage to solve the problem about error 604? I’ve got the same error on my 35sx and it really puzzles me.

Hi everybody, I just bought an ibm ps/2 35sx. Unfortunately it’s floppy doesn’t work and I’m aware of the fact it could be its old capacitors. So I decided temporarily to get a standard floppy adapted following some examples on internet, so that I could at least use the starter disk. Only...
