Subject: Searching for PS/2-E (9533-DB7) reference diskette
I know it's not _quite_ 10 years old, but it's getting there. The
principle
of attraction has worked and my IBM quad-PCMCIA card
has attracted a
couple
of hosts - a PS/2-E that it originally came out of. I
have been to the
IBM
support site - no concrete references to the PS-2/E.
I have located
reference
diskettes for all sorts of IBM-brand products, but not
the 9533. It's
distinguishing features include a low-power design with one ISA slot for
this
quad-PCMCIA card to minimize peripheral draw.
Additionally, it uses a
2.5"
laptop disk (120Mb) and only has one serial port. As
shipped from IBM,
there
was an LCD panel for a monitor, but I've never
seen that part in person,
only
in old ads.
Does anyone have a disk image they can ship me, or a pointer to an image
somewhere? I'm thinking of turning this into a router box. I have the
PCMCIA NICs to do it with.
Thanks,
-ethan
