I have a Type-4 upgraded Model 95, a Type-A Model 80 with the Blue
Lightning upgrade, an original Model 50 (not a 50z) with an AOX
Micromaster upgrade, and two dual-pentium PCI/MCA PC Server 320's which,
incidentally, are REALLY nice machines which I highly recommend. I will
look up the exact date, but the PS/2s which were released in the first
line were the 25/30, 50/60, and the 70/80. All the others came later,
including the 35/40 (rare), the P70/P75, L40SX/N51SX/CL57SX, the 56/57,
76/77, etc.
Peace... Sridhar

Snip
I thought that the PS/2 (model 30? and 50?) was intro'd in 1986 - does
anyone have the exact date?
IBM intro'd these two models including 70 and 80 in '87 after closing
out XTs, ATs.
Also 25, 25 286 and 30 286 came out later on, as well as tuned up
50Z. Much better 70's and P70s, faster 80s for two generations more.
I find 30 and 55SX far common boxens then 35, 40 and 56.
Lots of inbetween models based on
386sx, more efficient SLC, SLC2 and SLC3, some MCA some ISA. And
more serious MCA machines such as P75, 85 and 90, 95 in early to mid
90's as well as famous 77's. During that periods, IBM came out with
wimpy non-standard PS/1s then turned into better machines and
standardized parts, more consumer machines that we know now and deal
with daily.
The MCA faded away after '95.
