I thinned out my old computer collection quite a bit but don't see

The problem with PS/2 is you are either in or out. The hardware is so
proprietary you can't rely on having parts unless you have PS/2 parts.
That used to be pretty much all I had.
I could get all the parts I wanted but the cases had serial numbers on
them and were not able to be ordered so I built "woodies".
This was my PS/2 70 with the custom 5.25" bay for a CD or 5" diskette.
