This is "pluto", see above. It had 16 or 32 MB originally and an S3 Trio 64 graphics card. (The ATi card is lost, as is the LS-120 SuperDisk drive.) Early Machines ============== :: Desktop ('80ies and '90ies) OS: DOS, Windows 3.1, OS/2 2.1, OS/2 Warp 3 Model: IBM PS/2 Model 80 HDDs: 140 MiB total Probably the 8580-071, because it had one 70 MiB drive initially and got a second one later on. We also added a tape drive at some point, but didn't use it very often. :: Desktop ('80ies and '90ies) OS: DOS, Windows 3.0, OS/2 2.1 (?) Model: IBM PS/2 Model 30 I believe it was the one with a 286, because I don't remember the power switch being red, but I'm not entirely sure. :: Desktop ('80ies and '90ies) OS: DOS Some Intel 8086 with an amber monochrome monitor. I think, there was 640k RAM, maybe less. Can't remember the size of its HDD. I do remember, though, that the CPU ran at 8 MHz.
