Picked these up off Facebook marketplace today for a great price. I've wanted a P70 again for a long time. Jeez, it's been 20 years since I've owned one!
Anyways, aside from the numbers, from the outside both these look identical.
Internally they have different motherboards and video cards. (P70 internals pictured first, second shot is 5545T)
One says "Personal System/55 5545T" and the other says the standard "Personal System/2 Model P70 386".
I can't find much info on the 5545T. What was it? Later release before the P75?
Powered both up. The P70 goes through POST and seeks the FDD, but the HDD is clunking and the display doesn't show any signs of life.
The 5545T seems to work perfectly aside from the read errors with the FDD as expected.
Are there any disassembly guides available online? Been so long since I've had one of these apart to remove the FDD.
I've been out of the game for so long, are there any working sites for MCA drivers? ADR files if I remember correctly, right?
And might anyone have a link to the setup floppy image to change CMOS settings?
Thanks everyone, good to be posting here again!
