Ibm ps/1

That's a multifunction small component tester, I think you mean a TL866 or similar. Like this: https://www.amazon.se/DollaTek-universell-programmerare-TL866II-blixtprogrammerare/dp/B08HQBNDD1/

yes, you are of course correct! I pasted the wrong link. Indeed with the same order I bought this one https://www.amazon.se/gp/product/B07CDD9PGT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (Laqiya TL866)
I also bought the correct EEPROMs on ebay should the original ones fail after writing, which they didn't.

Hi all, I have got a 2011 PS/1 (with 30 Mb hard disk drive still alive...) computer and I would like to bring it back as it was sold with the preloaded software in French! Does anyone have those?

Many thanks!!

Speaking of PS/1 memory, does anyone need/want an aftermarket 4MB expansion module (for the cost of shipping)?

Hello Cloudschatze, As a owner of a PS/1 2011, I will be interesting for a memory module to boost my IBM!

Guys, do I understand correct that any PS/2 keyboard and mouse should work with PS/1 2011 80286 model?

Yes, all PS/2 keyboard and mouse work with the PS/1 (mine is the same as yours and connected with a new PS/2 keyboard)

Hi superlolo,

I'm sorry to disappoint, but that memory module was sent to Néstor nearly a decade ago. I hope you're able to find one elsewhere.

Ok, thanks @Cloudschatze. Cross fingers!

Hello all,

I recently bought a PS/1 2011-M01, one of the older versions that came without a hard drive and with DOS on ROM. I replaced the CMOS battery, and am now stuck when it comes to running the CONFIGUR command.
The computer shows 161 and 163 errors on boot (which is to be expected since it's not configured)
Loading into the "OS" and entering a DOS prompt, gives me "Not ready reading Drive A" with the options "Abort, Retry, Fail?" where on selecting fail, it gives me a regular prompt with "Current drive is no longer valid" instead of a directory.
Trying to CD into D:\ gives me "invalid drive specification"

Trying to boot from a diskette using Alt+SysRq or holding down the two mouse buttons doesn't work.
When doing anything that would require reading the floppy disk, the computer freezes until restarted, the light for the drive lights up, and the drive makes a sound.

Any help with getting this working would be greatly appreciated, I am completely at a loss.
