So in my collection a long time was a pile of Model 60 parts. Right now im in the midst of repairing a 286 motherboard. Going to make a nice upgraded system out of it since it has a PLCC to PGA DIP socket. It will allow installation of a PGA socket for a Kingston 486 SLC2/50 cpu upgrade that I got out of a Model 60, and fingers crossed with a swapped in crystal to downclock (24mhz for 12mhz cpu), it will work.
Here's the thing I need help with. I wish to also reuse or at least test the 0667 full size drive I pulled from the model 60. Is this just not possible without unobtanium or can I use a generic say Cirrus Logic EDSI ISA card? Looking at an Everex ESDI card wondering if that will work or does this drive have IBM's "weird" variation of ESDI that isn't totally compatible.
Also need a floppy drive button for a ps/1 or ps/2 if anyone is sitting on a bunch of parts drives. I didn't think to save it when I gave the floppy drive I had away...
