9595 Ardent Tool
Of Capitalism V2
The MCA Mafia
Most of these pages were originally from Louis Ohland's 9595 Ardent Tool of Capitalism collection of pages.
IMPORTANT: The
information on these pages is years out of date, and this resource is no longer maintained. This page was created
back in 2003 or so when its original author (Louis Ohland) removed his
informational PS/2 pages and replaced them with stuff pertaining mainly
to the RS/6000. I took it upon myself to try and meld the two worlds
together, with the original goal of providing the latest information in
one place, since I had much more space available for hosting files. I
didn't realize how much work that would be, and after completing this
index page, very little else happened. Many if not all of the links to
external sites on this page, and the pages linked below, have gone bad. Please visit ardent-tool.com for the most up-to-date information pertaining to IBM PS/2 systems and related hardware.
If you can get to a Usenet server, the comp.sys.ibm.ps2.hardware newsgroup is still fairly active. As of this writing in late 2021, you can at least read it via Google Groups. Also, please feel free to send me an e-mail
about anything pertaining to IBM PS/2s, Microchannel or related
hardware and systems. (I don't have parts, though, so I can't be of
much help to you there.)
