A Monster Machine...

Now that's a big box.

Took ages to get it open, but what lay inside is (imho) truly magnificent. Have a first look at the IBM PS/2 model 60 Personal Computer!

Standard 16.9 ounce soda bottle for scale. The thing is gigantic.

As of this writing I haven't done anything more with it, as it needs a good cleaning inside and out first, and then I need to track own some software to boot it as I don't know that I have anything that will start it yet. More to follow!

Oh boy! That's one beautiful model 60, sometime I'll get my hands on one of those! I've got the reference disks for it when you need them.

You'll have to swing by one of these days and check it out!

Is it noisy?

Is it noisy?

Haven't powered it up yet. I expect it will be.

Haven't powered it up yet. I expect it will be.

Do it!

 

[Jasper]

Did you do it?

 

[Performa]

Did you do it?

I did! It doesn't boot (I don't have the IBM-specific disk to start/configure it) but it does at lest power on.

Kinda fell to the wayside when new projects came up. Is slated for some work in time for the big show later this year.
