You know the P70 hardware manual is online at IBM at
http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/cdt/hmm.html and the book is in HTML Bookmanager
format or downloadable PDF format as the Portabel Systems HMM Volume I. Very
handy and yes the P70 is a neat little unit. My wife starting tinkering on
mine and now I can't get it away from her, especially after the 486 upgrade
and Win95 OSR2 on a 160mb drive and 16mb ram. I just added an Etherlink MC
card and now the same woman that says she doesn't have need for a network is
tied to it and wreaking havoc!

=> Thanks to Wizard, I have aquired a keyboard for my P70
=> finally and gotten it functional. I had to swap out the floppy drive
=> first but after that everything went great. I had forgotten how long
=> it took to install OS/2 Warp Ver. 3 from floppies! I've not
=> installed either the Etherlink or SCSI card yet, but it's running
=> OS/2 on the original 120 meg HD, 8meg of RAM, and the 40mhz 486SXL2
=> CPU upgrade. Boot time was cut dramatically once I installed the
=> Evergreen cache software for the new CPU. All in all, a pretty nifty
=> little system.
