Attemping to fix an IBM PS/2 Model 50Z

[linemanduke]

you are very welcome. I'm glad you got a new system and was able to get the stuff off your hard drive. what did it boot to os2, windows, or just dos ?

Just DOS and Windows

Just DOS and Windows

The hard disk still has the original, preloaded software: IBM DOS 4.0, Microsoft Windows 3.0, and other applications including Microsoft Excel and Word. I'm lucky that the hard drive did not need replacing, unlike the diskette drive and system board.

I've used or worked on the XT, AT, PS/1, PS/Valuepoint, Aptiva, and newer PCs from IBM, but this was the first time I've ever worked closely with a PS/2. I'm glad I had this chance to do so.

Yeah, I have a couple of Aptiva towers, including the one with the sliding panel, and, although it came complete with EVERYTHING that come with it, including the original CDs and restore CD, from the original owner, I haven't put either of my website because it's doubtful that anyone would want to pay the shipping charges on the damn thing.
