LGR - IBM PS/2 Model 60 Lives Again!

Fixed up this classic piece of IBM PC history and figured I'd show it off inside and out! Here's the original video this is a response to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2R6bwxQqs8 ● Consider supporting LGR on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews ● Social links: http://www.twitter.com/lazygamereviews http://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews

that startup sound :O

Sounds like a freaking sports car starting up XD

Of course, it's important to remember that you need a small nuclear generator to power a model 60. Or 10,000 hamster wheels. Whatever works.

The sounds of those fans. Let alone the size of the HD. I don't even want to imagine how much one of those would weigh!

If it could fit in a drawer I would get one, but the thing looks huge. It's cool but way too impractical. I bet that will make them very rare in the future (if not already).

Noooooooooooooo !! You had lemmings but played Crystal caves... Dissapointed ;)

I learned to use DOS on one of these in the late 80s/early 90s. We also had Win 3.11 running on it. Despite it having once been a very expensive machine, I was always envying my friends who had IBM clones with fancy things like a sound card and CD-ROM.

wouldn't have thought it 3.11 would work on a 286, doesn't it need 386 protected mode?

That harddrive! Such awesomeness! Though I'd love to get a hold of one of those machines sometime, they really are freaking awesome. Plus, that one having been used all the time and still working quite well shows the kind of quality that was put into the machine. That power supply really looks like it was well built to last too.

Also noting the startup sound like others have - it is very distinctive! IMO, it reminds me of a (much) quieter jet engine, haha. I am also amused and not surprised you have a screwdriver on your keychain... for emergency computer case openings, I guess? :D

Mmm... Apogee goodness.

From the files in that CNC directory it looks like they wrote their own code to control it! I saw a CNC.C file in there. I'd love to see the contents of that, there's a horrible lack of source code for DOS software. Did you put the BC directory on it or is that a Borland C compiler directory?

Was that Paratrooper I spied? The one where you have a turret and shoot down paratroopers before they stand on each others' shoulders and blow up your gun? I LOVED that one as a little kid!

Yes indeed, I reviewed it a while ago too! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnPUsspS-LM" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnPUsspS-LM</a>

I love the startup sound. You could use that as a sound effect for a space ship spooling up to take off.

Thank you! It's seemed that there has been less hardware and internals videos on your channel for a while and it's nice to see more of them like this one and the hot wheels computer video. I love seeing computers in their "naked" glory.

As I mentioned on Twitter, I recently acquired a model 65sx, which seems like it's more or less identical inside, save for the 386SX-16 CPU, and having those annoying Dallas RTC/NVRAM battery-and-chip-in-one modules. Mine also came with some snazzy IBM SCSI controllers, and TWO full-height HDDs. It truly is a glorious thing to hear powered up. Can't wait to see more of the haul on show! :D

7:06 is the vga missing a pin?

Awesome, making me miss my vintage computer collection again.... Anyway, floppy drives are usually easy to fix, just clean and re-grease all of the moving parts.

well that power supply certainly lasted longer than my last power supply

awesome job getting it to work. hoping to see a video on this soon

Thanks! And this is the video on it, for the time being :) I plan more of an overview on the overall PS/2 lineup sometime though

Usually so, but the one it had didn't even power on anymore. It had been stored in a garage and been exposed to the elements

Compared to later SVGA ports yes, but on these it was meant to be that way! That pin isn't exactly needed to my knowledge.

That's awesome. But yeah, those Dallas RTCs are a pain, especially when soldered to the board

Thank you for a great video. You did not mention how much RAM you had on this machine?

I had one of these when I was at University in the mid-90's doing a Computer Science / AI degree. I remember how solid it was and the sound it made very clearly esp with two hard drives and you're right, even the floppy drives sounded mute, it was really satisfying. I'd forgotten about the co-processor chip, it made a big difference when programming floating point. Very sad to get rid of it.. Also did work experience in '94 at a big IBM campus which was filled with PS/2's of all shapes and sizes at the time, I really loved it. I'm considering buying the Lenovo 700 as this is about as close you can get to the build quality of the PS/2's nowerdays, a worthy eventual successor I think. Anyway thanks for the great video and for the rest of your content, I'm a big fan of your channel, keep up the great work.
