Wow, what a find.... I'd love to have a Server 500. It is basically an
IBM PS/2 Model 9595 in a larger case, with a better Processor Complex.
If your going to simply take it's drives, I'd love to have the remainder
of the machine. I don't know how to repair the power supply, but I
could hopefully dig up another.
