IBM PS/2 Model 70

This was my first vintage machine. I found this diamond in the rough in the garage looking for something, lo and behold there it was, sitting next to a stack of records. The monitor and keyboard were nowhere to be seen. I had saved this machine from certain death a few days later, when my grandfather took this machine and several monitors to a recycling center! I called him and begged him to turn around. He did, and I saved this machine. The diskette drive doesn't work. I am attempting to build a jerry-rig for it. I was able to configure the machine with the PS/2 P70's diskette drive.
