ah yes, the first ps1 series to come out. i presume its a 2011-c34 or m01. you
might want to try this trick:
with the machine off, press and hold down both mouse buttons, then power on.
when it posts, let the buttons go. that will force an autoconfig, and make it
boot from rom again. that trick works on all ps1 models. you shoulda made your
disk backups when it was running, but too late now. you can still order the
core software from ibm. i think it's ~$45. ring the helpcentre at 800.772.2227

<< I recently came into possession of a PS/1 model 2011. (I believe that
 this was one of the initial PS/1 models). It has a '286 processor and
 30 meg harddrive. Unfortunately, the harddrive seems to be DOA (1701
 error on boot up). The system will boot up to a 4 quadrant screen from
 the rom. I have downloaded the programs from IBM to switch the boot
 sequence to the floppy, but I cannot access any of the software that
 came with the system (MS Works et al.). The docs seem to imply that I
 can create a diskette version to run the software, which would be great
 if I had the original diskettes.
 
 So I'm wondering if there is anyone out there that I could get a copy of
 the diskettes that came with this system?
 
 Thanks, >>
