Hello! Lately I got I PS/1, 2121 model (s/n tb55-000zz9d). But it have no original disks or hdd (I read somewhere here that it had a 40MB hdd (or something like). So I have few questions: 1. Where can I get disk with configuring (bios) utility 2. Is there any problem with installing some other hdd? Cables are very short and I don't want to broke something. Can I put some other data cable? And what hdd (model/mark) was in it originally? Thank You.
Also I think you will find PS/1 hardware is specific to IBM PC's, though even with a 40MB hard drive it is useful for MSDOS or equivelent, ie Webserver, Dial-up Modem Sharing, Internet Basic Access, MSword 5. W3.x is feasible but personally would not recommend:

Thank You Well I searched for it once, so it seems I missed it then. Thanks one more time.
Yeah, stuff's been moved about at the IBM FTP site, I think 'ps1aptiva/original_files/configuration/' is where you might find the configuration utility.
