Questions, how fast were the 286s?
As I recall, they were 8 MHz machines.
The hard disk is rather strange with what looks like a
50pin edge
connector. Obviously some of the extra connections over normal are
power. is the drive MFM, IDE or what?
The IBM HDs I have like you describe are ESDI drives. While I don't have
the numbers available, the ones I have are 60 MB.
What other oddities about these?
You probably already know the machines are worthless if the setup gets
changed/corrupted and the reference disk is not available to correct the
situation.
