It's an enhnaced server 9595, power supplies always show on ebay. The
complex on it is worth quite a bit of money for both the server 500 and
server 95 crowd. It will run Linux, Novell, NT4 server, etc. For $10 initial
cost it's worth locating a powers upply even if for $50.
Not sure if there's a manuall for the 500 but you might check here for a
manual (others should bookmark it for future IBM laptop, PS/2, server, etc
use)

Also you might want to subscribe to and ask on the COMP.SYS.IBM.PS2.HARDWARE
newsgroup for info on this machine and parts that others might have around.

=> case that holds
=> a total of 12 SCSI drives, and a mix of other things.
=> When I got it home I power it up and it booted up up nicely with a Novel
