IBM Server 500

It's an enhnaced server 9595, power supplies always show on ebay. The complex on it is worth quite a bit of money for both the server 500 and server 95 crowd. It will run Linux, Novell, NT4 server, etc. For $10 initial cost it's worth locating a powers upply even if for $50. Not sure if there's a manuall for the 500 but you might check here for a manual (others should bookmark it for future IBM laptop, PS/2, server, etc use) http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/cdt/hmm.html Also you might want to subscribe to and ask on the COMP.SYS.IBM.PS2.HARDWARE newsgroup for info on this machine and parts that others might have around. => -----Original Message----- => From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org => [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of PC Automation => Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2002 11:24 PM => To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org => Subject: IBM Server 500 => => => I purchased an IBM Server 500 series computer yesterday at a => yard sale for => only $10..
