Subject: IBM 3511
So today I picked up something I had never seen before - an IBM 3511.
This is a large tower expansion chassis for the PS/2 line. It looks
very straightforward - but can any of you PS/2 fans comment on this?
Was it an unsuccessful product? Low demand item?

It would have to be ASCII art for this list.

That is a SCSI enclosure built on a 95 frame.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az7Sg0EHr5E
This made sense with small capacity drives, but when you could stuff 1GB
or bigger drives into a 95, it wasn't so appealing. IBM came out with
OBI SCSI enclosures that cost less to make. 3517?
If you look at the video after the dude gets done wasting time about
halfway through, you will notice there is a snap on rear blank bezel
over Slots 4-8 and the planar ports area. A 68? pin SCSI bulkhead
passthrough, a metal guard over the passthrough, and what you can't see
behind the PSU is the load card, that has some big sandbars for load
regulation. Do the math, the SCSI HDs might pull @ 150W maximum, there
are no adapters to power, or planar, or complex.
You could stuff a 8595 or 9595 class single serial / single parallel
port planar in there, add floppy and op panel cable, floppy cable, op
panel, op panel bezel, HD sleds, HDs, and about 19? or so of the black
chromate planar screws...
Oh, forgot complex, side wall fan, fan power contact assembly...

A bit of Googling found this page:

That Italian site has scans from the original IBM promo material (with
the smaller 3510).
Anyway, it seems that these 3511s are not all that common...

Er, OK. I do not recall that being mentioned in this thread before.
I tried its search box and got 0 hits for "3511" or "3510".

Mark mentioned the brochure - I assume he saw the one on 1000bit.

Yes. I just googled "ibm 3511", and it came up at around hit number 5 for me. It
was a regular google search; an image search wasn't nearly as helpful.
http://www.1000bit.it/ad/bro/ibm/IBM-PS2-351x-StorageOption.pdf
The power panel on my PS/2 85 is mirrored vs. the 3511's, with the power button on the
left and the display filler panel on the right. The cutout for the serial number label is
still in the same spot on the left:

Nice. Subscribed. The case comes together and goes apart just like my PS/2 85, though it
doesn't have the sliding safety cover over the power button like the 85 does.
