These items are for sale by owner.  Please repond via e-mail.  All prices
are pretty firm because I feel that they are fair.  I'd be more than
happy to answer any questions about any of these items.  I only have one
of each item listed, I'm not a computer dealer.

Terms: If you are within driving distance (I'm in Chicago), I will
deliver or you can pick up the equipment.  I will expect payment in full
in cash, cashier's check, or money order.  If you are not within driving
distance, I will ship to you via UPS COD.  You will have to pay UPS the
price in full plus the COD charges.


IBM PS/2 Model 50 Planar (Motherboard)......................... $200 (US)

 This is just the standard planar.  Useful for those that have blown
 their motherboard, or if you have the guts to scrounge parts from it!
 For those unfamilar with it, it's a Micro Channel planar (four 16-bit
 slots; one short for DASD controller card, plus three full-length
 including one with video extension) with a 10MHz 286, 1M RAM, VGA,
 clock, serial port, parallel port, mouse port, keyboard port, floppy/
 tape interposer port, and speaker/battery connection.  It's the bare
 board.

Aox StaX/MC SX (25MHz)......................................... $200 (US)

 This is a direct plug-in replacement for the 286 processor in the IBM
 PS/2 Models 50 and 60.  (The one I'm selling will NOT work in a 50Z!)
 The StaX module replaces the 10MHz 286 processor in your PS/2 with a
 25MHz 386SX processor and a proprietary Aox cache controller, along with
 a zero wait state cache.

  - runs at 25MHz, independent of the original (10MHz) machine clock
    speed
  - fits PS/2 Model 50 or 60 (this one's NOT for a 50Z!)
  - up to 3 times faster processing
  - easy to install - no slot or cables
  - 287 or 387SX math co-processor supported (but not included)
  - zero wait state cache
  - supports memory management software
  - comes with special DOS, OS/2 1.x and OS/2 2.0 drivers for maximum
    performance (also works with Windows 3.0/3.1 in 386 enhanced mode,
    DesqView 386, Unix/Xenix/QnX 386, etc.)

I will supply a copy of the Model 50/60 Reference Diskette Version 1.08
if you need it.

.................or both (planar with StaX/MC SX installed) for $375 (US)
