OOPs AT&Ts - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

19 Feb 1998

 If you decide to buy an old IBM PS/2 and need tech support you can get 
 info from IBM's web site. I picked up a PS/2 Model 60 286 based pc 
 last year (which I used as barter for a complete IBM 16-64K PC and 
 Victor 9000 from a furniture dealer who wanted a word processor). The 
 system wouldn't boot due to a spent cmos battery so after replacing 
 the battery I found the reference (setup) diskette at IBM's web site, 
 downloaded it to a 3 1/2" floppy and was done with it. Go to 
 ibm.com/support and search under ps/2.

Joe,

Ouch!

What was the usual PS/2 models with this inflated asking prices 
unless it has special reason for this?

Let us know after thru these piles anyway. 

Thanks!

     The owner is a typical surplus store owner.  He buys the stuff for $30 
 a pallet load (20 to 30 machines), but wants an arm and a leg for each one. 
  He'll scrap the stuff before selling it cheap.   I went back down there
 yesterday to look at some HP's and found out he had pulled ALL the boards 
 out of them and was still wanting $100 each for the empty boxes and power 
 supplys. The owner was acting like a jerk so I didn't even ask about the
 PS-2s.  I don't think they're anything special about the PS-2s but I'm not 
 very familar with them so I don't know for sure.  
 Hee hee, I agree with you, that guy is jerk!  :)  Well, so good luck 
 with alterative place anyway and see how things goes.  What do you 
 mean by what do you not familiar with PS-2s?   I could help you to 
 ID?
