This past weekend I picked up an old PS/2 machine. It's a Microchannel
system, a Model 65sx (I think). The only thing missing in it is the
hard drive. It has one of those 3-1/2" drives with the full-length
card-edge connectors on it, I think 50 pins wide or so, that provides
all connections including power.
I would like to get it up and running just to have around as another
working system (also got a Compaq Portable III at the same auction for
$10 in a leather case!). Any suggestions where I could find such a
drive easily? Is this machine's HD interface an ST-506 variant, EISA,
or what?

8565 is a 386DX-25 I think with a SCSI controller instead of ESDI that the
model 60 used. Take note of what adaptor cards are installed. This machine is a
floppy based reference disk instead of using an IML partition so you will
need to build a reference disk with all the adf files on it. If parts are
needed, I can help with whatever is needed.
