I think you have a Model 70-121, the 77 just came out.

     I have an application that will use the bus mouse port on a

Can someone tell me offhand or point me toward a source?

I have been offered to buy a portable P70 386 made in
november 1991. It has 6MB ram, 120MB HD.
It is an K121 I have been told.
Now the question:
Is it possible to upgrade it to a 486 in any reasonable matter ?
Can I have more than 8MB ram on the motherboard ?
Does IBM have any upgrade path for this?

Any experiences is of interest.

I have an IBM PS/2 Model 30 286 with 1 MB of memory, and I have just
purchased a 1 MB upgrade kit which consists of 2 SIMMs.  I installed the
SIMMs, and I ran the auto-configuration disk, and when I restarted, the

I just got a letter in the mail a few days ago from AOX advertising that
they have dropped their prices on their Micromaster cards.
A 486SX-25 is under $750.00 and a 486DX-33 is under $1,100.

No adapters needed at all.  The 8515 works wonderfully with XGA-2.  I
was hesitant about the fact that it only works in 1024x768x256
interlaced, I thought there was going to be a lot of flicker.  I can
barely see any flicker at all, usually none at all, and only on things
that would obviously be bad flicker things (every other row kind of
things)  

It sped up my OS/2 video IMMENSELY!!  We're talking 4-5x speedup.  My
windowed sessions run about as fast as my full screen ones used to run. 
My full screen sessions scroll too fast to read.  I had already
installed the service pak, so what I did was not use the "Device
Drivers" disk that came with the card, since it didn't have any OS/2
information.  I used selective install to tell OS/2 that I have XGA as
my primary display.  Then, it asked for disks 6-15 of the original
disks, and the first Display Driver disk of the service pak.  Then,
everything went fine.   The stuff that was a bitch was the reference
disk B.S. that I had to go through.

Yes, it is possible.  I purchases an ATI VGA Basic-16 video card and plugged
it right in.  That was all I had to do, no jumpers, etc.  The board is smart
enough to disable any onboard video.   I like the card alot.  Best thing is
it was fairly cheap and is 16 bit so I can use it in another machine when
it is time to junk my ps/2 model 30

This doesn't sound like a Model 77, something that was only recently
introduced, something that has a 486 processor, something that comes
with XGA-2 graphics, something that comes with a 2.88 Mbyte floppy,
something that comes with at least 200 Mbytes of disk, and something
that comes with 8 Mbytes of memory standard.  Maybe a Model 70?

I've got a Mod30, which recently has started booting up
with a: "161  Set time and date." and a square clock being
displayed on the screen.
 
My guess, the battery that keeps the time current has died.
So I open the PS/2 up and inside the only battery that I
can see underneath all the dust is a fat yellow cylindrical
sucker about an inch long attached to the daughter-board.
There is a warning pasted on the daughter board not to
try to recharge the battery.
 
So I remove the cards plugged into the daughter-board, and
remove the daughter-board.  And I try to yank on the yellow
battery.  This sucker seems like it isn't supposed to be
removed from the daughter board.
 
Anyone with any helpful ideas?

We just had a serious head crash with an ESDI drive of a somewhat

  o  can i get an off-the-shelf drive, connect it and it works? Or am
     i forced to get one of the overpriced IBM drives?
  o  where can i get an ESDI drive? The ads in the computer magazines
     have IDE and SCSI drives, only...
Size is not a big deal, (50-100MB), but should be less than US$ 1000.
Or should i get a (MicroChannel-)SCSI controller + drive instead? Any
caveats with this combo?

I want to get a tape backup for my PC. The IBM internal unit is pretty

I'll be running under OS/2 2.0, so I'll need a SCSI drive, external,

capacity around 120-250Mb.

Does anyone know if I can get such a drive (inc. case and cable) for around
$400 - $500? If so, I'd greatly appreciate any recommendations.

I get mixed reports on this one.  I thought the XGA-2 can work with the
8513, but only at a max resolution of 640x480x256.


>I've got an XGA-2 on order, I'll let you all know when it gets in.

I'd like to know whether there is a difference between these two
routines on an XGA-2:

	mov	ax,0b800h
	mov	es,ax
	mov	cx,4000 shr 2
	mov	di,0
	mov	eax,0
	rep	stosd

and:

	mov	ax,0b800h
	mov	es,ax
	mov	cx,4000 shr 1
	mov	di,0
	mov	ax,0
	rep	stosw

The first one clears the screen in 32-bit chunks.  The second one does it
in 16-bit chunks.  This code might need some fine-tuning, but you get
the idea.

Radius seems to be quick off the blocks with one; you can call
1-800-5-RADIUS and get info from them about the upcoming card.
Reportedly coming out by year's end, cost >$300, note that this

I only ran it that way for maybe 5 minutes, enough time for me to

Can the 9517 do 800X600?  I thought it can do up to 1024X768.

Thanks.

Does anyone know whether there will be and EISA version of the XGA-2 
board?  I know that the ISA version will work on an EISA mb, but I 
would prefer an EISA model.  If there is going to be one, any guesses as to 
when it'll be available???  TIA.

Two questions about the PS2/55SX:
1) Can I take a 5.25 inch external drive and adaptor from the 2/50 and put in the 55sx?

2) This one's easy - what's the clock speed?

Thanks.

Summary: Can I use XT monitor with N45?

Hi

I'd like to be able to use an old XT colour monitor (yes, I'm trying
to save money) on the IBM N45 notebook/laptop (which I don't have
yet). The monitor number is 5153.

(1) Does anyone know if I can run the monitor off the N45? I don't
know if the monitor is EGA or CGA and was hoping that someone on the
net might.

I've been told that I can, and that I cannot, and no one seemed very
sure.

(2) Has anyone used the N45? Comments? Suggestions?


Thanks for your time.
