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 follow-up to:

● LGR links:

● Here's an archive of the CNC files:

*For those wanting to poke around the CNC folder:*

I noticed the SCORBOT directory. That was software used to control a robotic arm, often used in industry and higher education for robotics training. They still make Scorbots today, except now they're controlled through weenie modern USB ports.

*More info on the MFM hard drive:*
Many PS/2 Model 60/80 machines used ESDI drives instead of MFM, but that is not the case here!
Looking on the sticker you'll see IBM P/N 6373507, which is a Seagate ST-4053 MFM hard drive. There were also cards like the 90X6768 that supported MFM drives on MCA hardware.

"Hear this thing turn off."
*see's the note that reads "Please do not turn off"*
o.o

[dondon]

You should record the turning off sound and use that at the end of your videos 😋

LGR this makes me so happy to see I’ve been following for a while but just now seeing it I just recently got a IBM ThinkCentre and this just makes me happy

[LazerLord]

I've used an old machine for CNC work before, and it's great. IT wasn't neaerly as old as this thing, but it's pretty much the same.

Such memories!

Some company's servers probably died when he turned it off.

[Spacemutiny]

Your enthusiasm for older technology is infectious!!! I love it!

[JeffSense]

That thing is honestly sexier than a few of my ex-girlfriends.

[EposVox]

This was really cool to see - the modular PSU was epic!
And that massive number of expansion slots makes me a little too happy.

[Grumpydrawer]

That switch and turn on/off sound was just plain awesome! It just screams power...even though it's so old.

These 1980s IBM ps2 models were a one type fixed design. You couldn't just swap in a normal 3.5 ide hard drive from a AT pc. I remember working on these back in early 90s. Very complex and one off design for sure. Stock up on these now because parts are getting more and more scarce. Thx for sharing this!

[Aecidius]

Hey man I absolutely adore these videos, keep them up. I can't say there are many people on YouTube who get me on the edge of my seat watching things like this as you do.

[johannesparkmann]

The red huge power switch is pure authority

[ReiDuran]

Congrats on getting it working! The sound of this thing powering on and off is REALLY satisfying.

[Barnacules]

My first PC was a LaserPal 286/16 from Sears :D

[monos]

As a computer tech, i like seeing your reviews of old hardware. Keep 'em going!

[greenefieldmann]

I love this video! PC gaming and the PS/2 series don't usually go together, so I'm pleased as punch to see PS/2 stuff on your channel, of all places.

This is absolutely incredible, dude. I really enjoyed the video, just showing off a machine really quick. Nice and simple, really chill.
