    I've been trying to fix four 30 MB ESDI hard disks for an IBM PS/2 Model 50Z (another one). The original disk was bad, and so I acquired three more (two were new old stock, and one was used).

    Attemping to fix an IBM PS/2 Model 50Z

    I have an IBM PS/2 Model 50Z (type 8550) with data I would like to retrieve. Unfortunately, the power supply appears to be dead. Since it would seem difficult to get another compatible power source, is there anyway I can revive the power supply or interface the hard drive to a modern PC? The...
