Thanks for the technical answers.
I'm concerned about various compatibilty (SPELLING FAIL) for things like INTERLNK & stuff.
I don't remember if I got INTERLNK to work on that computer or not.
I do have something I want to try. I have an IBM PS/2 something, it's just a rectangle, and it has a hard drive in it.
My PS/2 25 has a IDE port for a hard drive, but no 4 pin power connector.
I'm thinking of running an IDE cable from the inside of the standalone IBM PS/2 box, out and into the IBM PS/2 25 motherboard, and powering the hard drive from the existing computer/case it's in, since I can't get any kind of power from the MODEL 25.
I'm aware there is probably an IN-IDE cable supply for power, from the Model 25, because the floppy is setup as such, but I'm working around that.
I'd have to keep one on top of the other, just to keep things close enough so they would connect.
Ideas? Critique of what I wanna do?
I wanna get a hard drive on my PS/2 25. I figure, the hardware should be near enough in age to be technically compatible.
I know there is a ZIP driver out there, because I have plenty of LPT1: zip drives to add external storage, or storage period, but I gotta send off for the driver with paypal & such, that's for later.
On another side note, I have a PS/1 tower which I got from a literal junk store in ABQ, NM!
