[TriLUG] What did the PS in PS/2 stand for?

[Jesus M. Rodriguez]

My PS/2 57SLC2  had a 486SLC 50MHz processor.  And a 212MB SCSI drive.
I upgraded the machine to with a Model 77 486DX4-100MHz system board.
I still have the machine with Red Hat Linux 5.2 with Microchannel enabled in
the kernel.  The machine is a TANK!  It NEVER EVER gave me a problem.

it's been dormant for almost 3 years, with a few boots just to see
if it's still alive :)
