Any idea what IBM used in the IBM PS/2 Model 80,
and many of the older
RS/6000's? It's some kind of plastic, but not ABS. It's quite fibrous
looking on the inside. It seems to be very strong.
Well, I don't have a PS/2 model 80, but various materials can be added as
filler to most plastics to improve strength.
