I bought an IBM Valuepoint 425SX in good condition but the hard drive was dead and wasn't sent along with the PC. Not a problem - I always swap them out with a Compact Flash adapter for lower power usage and ease of use but the odd thing is: I can't find ANY information about the kind of software originally installed on this PC. I'd like to restore it to its original condition but while for my IBM PS/1 there's countless archives with full recovery images (which was standard for IBM PCs at the time) but I can't find a SINGLE one for the Valuepoint and there were quite a lot of models.
Basically, does anyone own a Valuepoint with original software that can tell me how it was set up? Was it similar to PS/1 software?
