In moving from FL to TX, my PS/2, 9556, with a CD-ROM, 16mb ram, 1gig HDD 
in beautiful shape, got "lost" by Mayflower!  I am an OS/2 collector, 
having run the OS from 94-2008.  I also had an XGA-2 with the 1mb of vram, 
and a network card.
I have checked all around the Austin area, and have come up dry.  I have 
been interacting with this group for many years, and hope that someone 
can help me.
TIA,
Bob Grimes

Which means, my entire 9556 is gone!  Mayflower lost the damned thing, 
along with most of my entire OS/2 collection!!!!  I have replaced, 
through ebay, Warp Connect and Warp 4, two books on Warp 3 and 4.  I am 
looking for a replacement computer, any PS/2 with the same type of specs 
that my 9556 had.  In fact, you sent me the 1 gig HDD for that 9556 in 
the late 90's.
The movers lost my Stardock Object Desktop, which so far, I have been 
totally unable to find.  I did manage to find Lotus SmartSuite 96 for 
OS/2 again, but the main problem is no computer to run OS/2 on.

I've got some new systems available -- feel free to send me a message at ibm at nyceonline dot net.

You can browse some example items on the eBay store.. http://stores.ebay.com/nycedistributionllc/

Thanks !  Lorenzo

Louis - how've you been?  =)

Lorenzo, it has been a long slog since the start of September. Dove 
season, now Woodcock, Pheasant, then unfortunately Deer season.

My Brittany Spaniel is continuing to develop, but it is slow since we 
might see one or two birds for the morning. The flight does not appear 
to be down here yet. Tuesday was a nice day, Belle found a down Woodcock 
and she pinned it to the ground. I suspect shes not having anything to 
do with one getting away.

Not a toothy mark on it.

As you can tell, micro channel activity is by exception only.

Thank you Lorenzo!  Your reply was just what I was looking for!  Will 
check out your page.

"What do you mean there's no movie?"

Also note that while "the purists" require a PS/2 to run OS/2, the later OS=
/2 versions (like the version 4.52 e-business edition) run quite nicely on =
more common, later IBM Type-Models with Pentium 4 processors (including typ=
es 6792, 8305, 8141, 8187) and most of the Netfinity class server machines.

So if you can't find the "right PS/2 at the right price", you have other op=
tions (unless you insist on keeping your "purity score" high).

Rick, is that the vaunted "purity test"?

It is not for purity, it is because I have Warp Connect.  I used to have 
several copies of the 4.52 distro, I was a Software Choice subscriber.

If you want both (micro channel and pci), then look for IBM PC 730/750 
systems (6876, 6886). ThinkPads until 560E should also run fine.

Nope, the "purity test" applied to certain activities, traits and attributes of people who participated in IBM's internal forums (geared towards, but not exclusively targeted at the IBMPC forum community).  My personal score was not very "pure".
