The IBM PS/2 model 70 again! -E61

Hi all, BOY! I nearly bought the door stop for bad deal! As a prudent protection, I insisted on opening the old box, I found only stock configuration: 60mb hd, 2mb ram. Not 80mb and 4mb as previously stated by the store owner. Easy as pie to open it. :) And, to add to this, I wished that has late model using type 2 motherboard, this one uses type 1 motherboard, it's huge and loaded with PAL's, little ones, medium ones and rare large chipsets. I suspect the battery is dead because seller says it's configuration error "162" I know the basic codes pretty well. Which is preferable: Hock the offer to half of that $40 as agreed on to "whip" for being liar? I can't see him bec he's away for his doc appt til Friday. What I was lusting at owning a piece of a PS/2 machine for years but I would love to find a PS/2 motherboard -Axx series for a expensive song or with a 486 platform attached -oooh. If anyone could suggest or know of one that does have suitable hi performance older PS/2 alterative to this one would be nice. To anyone on this list, Wish list for model 70: -Type 3 motherboard -SCSI MCA controller adapter (I've a fast scsi II 540mb hd) -Ethernet card selectable BNC/10base2 TP. -P70 or P75. This nice P75 has SCSI as standard (cooler!) and known to be upgraded to either DX2 or DX4 (hurrah) with voltage adapter but it requires fancy footwork in soldering work either way. And I do like the plasma display due to my vision. I'm curious have anyone ever beaten the "16mb" limit on these series? Side note for other interests to other collectors while I was there, saw Zenith LP series with 286 daughterboard (can be upgrade to 386sx 16 and it has own copro socket). One Mac IIcx - what good about this one? I used to work on similar configuration of that model when I was at college doing homework. Comments please. Thanks and keep your aluminum platters spinning! Jason D. PS: When I was at a high school using their 30's also as tech assistent taking care bunch of large sites loaded with older models. PS/2 machines ranging from 25/30, 50, 55SX (perfect machine but would be even better machine if IBM soldered in an 25mhz cpu there), 50/50Z 70, and 80. That was about 3 years during summer beginning '89 or '90. This is where I started to like these PS/2 for it's good memories so I wished to have one as fun machine. :)
