I have a Type-4 upgraded Model 95, a Type-A Model 80 with the Blue
Lightning upgrade, an original Model 50 (not a 50z) with an AOX
Micromaster upgrade, and two dual-pentium PCI/MCA PC Server 320's which,
incidentally, are REALLY nice machines which I highly recommend. I will
look up the exact date, but the PS/2s which were released in the first
line were the 25/30, 50/60, and the 70/80. All the others came later,
including the 35/40 (rare), the P70/P75, L40SX/N51SX/CL57SX, the 56/57,
76/77, etc.

Peace... Sridhar
