[aclug-L] Re: Running Linux on a PS/2, how?

["Jeffrey L. Hansen" <jhansen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

if it's like my old model 70 then all the hardware is proprietary.  the model
70 was assembled by robot and there are no ribbon cable connections and the
drives are modular and simply snap into place.  If it doesn't work now it's
probably a doorstop.  it might be a deal to find another and use it as an organ
donor, however.
