IBM PS/2 Model 55SX
Added 2025-02-26 06:12:12 +0000 UTCNext video will be getting this 55SX into fighting shape. In a follow up video I'll try to boot it over a token ring network with IBM's Remote Initial Program Load!

2025-02-27 01:01:04 +0000 UTCI've got to get my PS/2 Model 60 up and running. I've got an issue with the hard drive that I'm still trying to resolve. Maybe there is dial up and our future? A cross country PS/2 party?

2025-02-26 14:56:35 +0000 UTCIn middle school we had a class called “Business” that taught typing, taxes, and check writing/balancing. We had IBM PS/2 computers on a token ring network. I remember looking at the connections and seeing a BNC T-connector and cables on either end so that it was a logical ring for all the computers to be connected to. Then fast forward to high school, we got a donation of PS/2 PCs to use for typing and the yearbook team to design our yearbooks. This was all in the early 90’s as well.

2025-02-26 12:45:21 +0000 UTCThat's a weird coincidence; over the weekend I won a bargin PS/2 Model 57SX and a Token Ring MCA card for it (I'd like ethernet but the prices are a bit high!)
