| subject: | IBM PS/2 |
Hi all, I have an IBM PS/2 Model 30 286, which I know isn't a popular computer among retro enthusiats, and I ask you, why? I know it was a commercial failure back in its day, because IBM got greedy and decided to make everybody pay royalties to them to develop new hardware for the machines. But I happened upon the thing for $10 at a garage sale, and I'm not really a wealthy collector. I'm not wealthy, period. :) And my particular model has ISA slots, so there's some flexibility there. But what I'd like to know is what people have against the PS/2 these days. I mean, they sell for hundreds of dollars on eBay, so they must be worth something to somebody. I've toyed with the idea of selling the thing, but as it happens, I've formed a strong emotional attachment to it, like my mom did with an antique sewing machine that she affectionately referred to as "Bessie." But that's another story... for another day. --- SBBSecho 3.03-Win32* Origin: Telnet://valhalla.synchro.net - Richmond, Virginia (1:275/93) SEEN-BY: 15/0 18/200 19/36 34/999 90/1 116/18 120/331 123/140 128/2 153/7715 SEEN-BY: 218/700 220/60 222/2 229/426 230/150 152 240/1120 250/1 261/38 100 SEEN-BY: 266/404 512 267/155 275/100 282/1031 1056 291/1 111 320/119 219 SEEN-BY: 340/400 342/13 393/68 396/45 633/0 267 280 281 408 410 412 640/1384 SEEN-BY: 712/132 620 848 770/1 801/161 189 2320/105 3634/12 5020/1042 5053/58 @PATH: 275/93 100 261/38 712/848 633/280 267 |
