Hi my first post here...and I need some help if possible. I came across a mint shape IBM PS/2 model 90 desktop (9590-DLG) and a IBM display 8518.
The model 90 has the processor board, SCSI card, XGA-2 card, one ram filled card filled and one empty ram card installed. It also has a 2.88 FD, it is missing the HD but still starts up and is a very clean machine (almost like new). I already replaced the cmos battery. I have a new OS/2 Warp on Floppy disks too.
Computer seems to work fine when I when I turn it on it comes up and ask me for a ref disk as the configuration has changed. There is a microchannel slot that is empty with no blank cover over the back end. So it looks like a card of some sort was removed or missing (maybe net card?). Oh I also found another mod 90 PS/2 processor board that has a 486 DX2 50 on it.
So I would like to get it up and working and connect it to my router and surf the web with it. Seems I would for sure need a HD, eithernet card, ref disk, maybe more ram? anything else?
Any help and advise would be great!
