[BayWarp] Fwd: OS/2 stuff

[Neil Waldhauer]

I'm forwarding this to the list.

Dick Weaver has supplied a lot of boxes of stuff, but I haven't yet looked at any of them, so I'm not sure it's worth doing any more pickups. Still, if you have the inclination, you can pick up.

best regards,
Neil

Another box, again not very interesting, on porch.

For bait this time there is a model 65. It's power supply has failed (The supply in my m80 had failed and I moved the 65's supply over to the m80 where it also failed - seems I'm a slow learner) but repairing power supplies is a common not difficult electrical task.  I didn't look to see if there was a hard drive in the machine or not.  I don't recall every actually using the m65, nor do I recall removing the drive but you never know.  If the drive is missing, let me know.

Tell whoever picks this up (if you can find someone) that the m65 is in a black garbage bag and that if they look inside the top they will find a handle that extends the full length of the machine, making it easy (if 40lbs or so is easy) to handle.

btw, I really think this is the last document/software box.  From now on, it's only hardware.

And there are few things labeled "free" if they want them.  Last time I looked in the "free" box, a neighbor had left a "Baywatch" dvd.

Found a print of this article in my files, just do a Google search for "Notes on repair of PS/2 Model 8580 Power Supply" (Just tried it, still works).
