minor correction; no PS/1 model ever came with ED drives. All of them except

equipped.

My guess is that being MCA they are PS/2 types,
but maybe not. Thanks for
checking.
How about the PS/1? These did have ED drives too, IIRC, but were AFAIK not
MCA
BTW isn't it nice that a lot of new games are
for the PS2. ;)
No, I hate it. People seem to be talking about MCA machines all day long
these
days, only resulting in disappointment when I mention my models 8070 or
8095.
