I bought an IBM PS/1 Tower computer from a local auction house and it is pretty ok shape.
At first the seller only offered hte system board and raiser, but i managed to get him to send me the floppy and psu as well.
PSU came dead, but the floppy had a hidden message on a piece of paper inside of it 😁
It says - "Teacher (female) every one in the entire school loves you very much" 😊
The case had some damage from shipping but it is not that noticable. On the other hand hte riser board has a punchured capacitor.
The riser board slots above it still work so i guess its not that big of a problem, i will probably replace it sooner or latter.
On the other hand the hard drive seems to have been used as an anchor or something 🤣
The board has marking/writtings on it that say - Card Shark. I tried to google IBM card shark but nothing was found. I also could not find hte exact same image of this board.
Does this mean anything? What is that slot used for?
And in general, are these IBMs good retro computers?
All i want to do is some MS-DOS derping.
