Hi all,
I have an IBM PS/2 Model 30 286, which I know isn't a popular computer among
retro enthusiats, and I ask you, why? I know it was a commercial failure back
in its day, because IBM got greedy and decided to make everybody pay royalties
to them to develop new hardware for the machines. But I happened upon the thing
for $10 at a garage sale, and I'm not really a wealthy collector. I'm not
wealthy, period. :) And my particular model has ISA slots, so there's some
flexibility there.

But what I'd like to know is what people have against the PS/2 these days. I
mean, they sell for hundreds of dollars on eBay, so they must be worth
something to somebody. I've toyed with the idea of selling the thing, but as it
happens, I've formed a strong emotional attachment to it, like my mom did with
an antique sewing machine that she affectionately referred to as "Bessie." But
that's another story... for another day.
