mold? if its everywhere inside, good luck! if its just the foam, rip it out.
use that armor all all-purpose cleaner. wont take the colour out and cleans
good.
the pinout is proprietary. this is a ps/2 remember? the form factor is not AT
compatible, so forget it.
model 60 is 10mhz 286 with 1 meg. there are chips to upgrade to 386 from 286,
but only access up to 16meg anyway. 24bit mem addressing. the hard drive is
esdi type which connects like an mfm drive. can't do ide drives either. i dont
know of a mca ide card. maybe aftermarket though. i have os2 1.3 never used,
but i'm keeping that for archives.

<< I got a PS/2 Model 60 and OS/2 2.0 (1992, but still classic)
 PS/2:
 a)How do I get rid of the mold inside?
 b)What is the PSU pinout if I want to put in a regular motherboard?
 c)Is there a way to upgrade the mb to 386 with <$10 and a 386 mb
 
 OS/2:
 a)I installed it on a 386 w/4 MB RAM (min. requirement). It CRAWLS.
  Should I replace the MFM HDD w/ IDE?
 b)Does anyone have os/2 1.x that they could send me? >>
