As "system_glitch" said, there were. The original model 30 was an 8086, and not even a great one -- it didn't have true VGA, for instance. http://ps-2.kev009.com/pcpartnerinfo/ctstips/7492.htm It was also available in a small-form-factor all-in-one case as the Model 25: http://www.ibmfiles.com/pages/ps2model25.htm http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=1183 Easily mistaken for a PS/1. That got me a lot of abuse on Twitter recently. Then there was the Model 30-286, a sort of mucked-about PC-AT. http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/2585/IBM-PS-2-Model-30-286/ And from our own Tezza: https://www.classic-computers.org.nz/collection/ps2-286-30.htm They're sort of not "real" PS/2s because they have the AT bus, not MicroChannel. I think the 30-286 could run OS/2 though. The same case (or very nearly) was reused for the Model 55SX. I actually have one of these. https://ancientelectronics.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/ibm-ps2-model-55sx/ It's a "true" PS/2 with MCA. I hope to get an old version of OS/2 2 or 3 going on mine some time. -- Liam Proven - Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk - Google Mail/Hangouts/Plus: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven - Skype/LinkedIn: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 - ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053
