This evening I commenced the process of rehabilitating the IBM PS/2 Model 60s I bought two weeks ago.
Anyway: they both came with 1 FDD and their original (huge) HDDs, 1 each. I will need to replace the batteries. They boot up (each 1 MB RAM) to ROM IBM BASIC. So I guess the FDDs are no longer functioning. They do not boot to the HDDs either so I guess those may be garbage as well.
I also spent an hour cleaning out the black slime (e.g. the foam that deteriorated over 22+ years). I covered the areas that originally had foam up with utility tape.
These are really cool machines. It will take me a while to get them up to 100% running condition though.
