So you may have noticed I've been asking for a Model 30 286 PS/2 (very specific) and a 5170 case - been looking for around a year now.
Just went to see a friend I met at work who wanted to clear his garage and came home with:
Generic XT clone
IBM 5170 with tape drive
IBM Model 30/286 PS/2 with original books, disks, and monitor
and three Pentium 3's (ok I have no idea what to do with these, but the others, oh my god).
2x3COM 24 port 10/100 switches
The rules are:
- format all machines
- any money I want to pay, should be forwarded to the Child Cancer Society
Will post more when I'm allowed to play with them, have to go run an errand now.
One of these machines was the server for the "SpidersWeb BBS" back in the day, just for extra coincidence!
