I have one of these PS2/M50Z. Nice boxen!
There wer two versions the M50 and the M50Z. The latter was the faster 286
of the two.
<1) The machine contains what I assume to be the hard disc controller, what
<capacity/type of drives will the machine accept - and where can I get one?
The two standard controllers were 20mb or 60mb but there were later ones to
I think 120mb.
<2) Can the machine accept 2.88Mb drives (this one is purely out of interest
Not that I know of.
<3) There is an expansion card with no markings on installed in the slot
<farthest away from the PSU. It is connected to what appears to be the
<processor socket ('286 right?) by a section of flexible PCB.
Likely a memory expansion.
<4) The "paddle" on the power switch has been broken off. Can I get a
<replacement switch or do I need to get a new PSU?
best source is a PS/2 wreck (most any of the older models.). there is
a web site that has PS/2 info. Can't seem to find it right now.
