That's disappointing as I've got one too. Given that its MCA I thought it would be
at a premium and therefore quite valuable.
The one I've got is in an IBM PS2 Model 60 but when I boot it I get some gobbledy-gook
on screen which is not very promising - if anyone has any clues I'd be grateful. I
thought of disabling the HD and trying to boot from a floppy to see if it was just the HD
that's cactus.
Ahhhh such is life!

I've got a 3com EtherLink III MCA card available if anyone wants it. It
failed to sell on ebay, so just cover postage costs (plus paypal fees if
you pay me that way) and its yours.
Anyone want it? If you want to view it, see below:

the ad lists as $3.85 for shipping via Priority Mail. That is my prefered
method to ship things like this, because I get free boxes. If you want
some other method or are out of the USA and can't use that method, I'm
open to changing it.
If I don't get a taker, its heading to the trash... so hopefully someone
will want it. (I no longer have any MCA bus hardware, so it is useless to
me)

Parker,
Of course, if you have gotten thick paperback book of Muller's,
this has whole lot of IBM PS/2 error codes. Or google. The info
will help you to decode errors and act on that info.
PS/2 stuff (not those PS2 (that's playstation 2, they do die easily.
:-P) doesn't simply die easily. I still have couple PS/2 (70-Axx,
P75) that still works.
For example 1701 generally means hard drive problem, so on, it has
several sub errors under that 1700 specific to hard drive system.
Gee, been years since I last cracked that book for reference. :-O
SWAG: There is about 200 or so error codes total for everything
including several types of beeps. Whew.
Cheers,
Wizard

Well, if everyone is throwing out their MCA stuff.. :-)
Anyone got a MCA 10/100 ethernet card, that'll work in a RS/6000 they
wanna toss my way (in a non-terribly expensive fashion)?
I've got a RS/6000 here I'd like to plug my tape library into, and use
as a back up server, but considering the size of the data, its current
10mbs network just ain't going to cut it.
Thanks, I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
