Heres a PS2/50z question.
Mine only has 1meg, looks like 72pin simm but none I have seem work.
All of them happen to be 8x32 (16chip).
There is only one SIMM socket. What is the limit for ram (max)?
Where can I get something bigger than 1mb?
As my internal network progresses this box has value as I have a SMC 10bt
NIC for it. I figure OS/2 warp V3 or Win3.1 would be a good os for it.
Being 286 there are few unix based OSs with a networking that run well on
it.
That and its just too silly not to.
the only version of OS2 that will work on the
mod50 is 1.3. any OS2 version
with built in windows support requires 386 or higher. you can put in various
memory cards to goto max supported mem of 16meg. plus, the hard drive has bus
attachment with only 160meg size being the biggest i've seen.

New subject: New finds
Just collected some intresting material yesterday, a Calcomp drum
plotter with pen kit and documentation, but missing the power and
interface cable, VAX 750 engineering drawings, 3 KFQSA (M7769) boards,
a Emulex TQ14 tape interface, which can either emulate a TSV05 or the
TMSCP interface. I also found a MS810 memory board and a microfiche
library with 536 fiches for VMS 4.4.
All is for trade (but prefer exchange for PDP Unibus related stuff).
Regarding the Calcomp plotter, does somebody have the RT-11 driver
for this one, I do have the hardware interface already.
Thanks,
Ed

Warp 3 was the last version I ran, and I don't
remember it having any
networking software either.

Warp3 had full TCP/IP -- just not the ethernet driver interface to it.
(There's a thing somewhere -- check Hobbes -- on how to do free
TCP/IP on ethernet by just downloading IBM patches for networking software
and putting it all together).

Should work in your 50z but needs 386 level to work according
to DB Young and shove in more ram while you are at it.

Hi,
....plus, the hard drive has bus attachment with only
160meg
size being the biggest i've seen.
Any idea where I can find one of these IBM ESDI drives, the one from my
Model 50 is missing and I want to restore the machine to it's original
configuration?
