Comments please. >> I have this model in my collection. i managed to get it for $25 but have not been able to test it since mine came with a radius two page display card which is useless without the monitor. i finally did get a 1bit video card for it, but now need to find a mono display for it which i still havent found! the cx is a 68030 running at 16mhz. a better deal would be the IIci model which is 25mhz and built in video which can be used with a vga monitor if you use a special dongle. RE: ps2 models; I have 3 of them: two 8530 and a 9577. the model 77 i bought 400meg scsi drives running hpfs and os2 3.0. its an industrial strength machine, and will probably outlive any other computer i own. david.
