  FYI I have one new package here and it's binder is marked "IBM Personal
System/2 Hardware Maintenance Service". It includes two plastic sealed
packs of pages ~1/4" thick. One has the same name but it's number is
80x0880. The 2nd pack isn't titled but the top page is titled "Hard Tab
Installation". It's number is 80x0882. There's also a 3.5" disk in the
binder that's titled IBM Personal System/2 Model 50/60 Reference Diskette.
PN 15F1045. The binder is marked 68X2222 and S68X-2222-00.

   I have others but they're all packed away.

   Those are getting VERY hard to find around here. I picked up a nice one
about 3 years ago and found a beat up one about a year ago (rescued for
parts) but those are the only ones that I've seen in about 4 or 5 years.
However I did find three IBM marked FH Tandon TM-100  5 1/4" disk drives
last week :-)
