Currently Playing: ZZXIO McIDE & IBM PS/2 Model 50z Restoration (8550-031)

This video features an IBM PS/2 Model 50Z (8550-031) restoration and hands-on testing of the ZZXIO McIDE card. I restore this classic MCA-based PS/2 system, unbox a large donation of IBM PS/2 parts, and try modern CompactFlash and SD card storage designed for vintage IBM PS/2 machines. Perfect for fans of vintage computers, retro IBM PS/2 systems, MCA architecture, modern storage upgrades, classic PC restoration, and hands-on retro computing projects. - Support me on patreon.com/Epictronics Buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/epictronics - Sound Blaster MCA build here: https://youtu.be/SDLMhGtPG4c?si=z68CkWxlqb5sXkva - Tools I regularly use FNIRSI DWS-200 Solder station PinePower Bench PSU AMTECH NC-559-ASM Flux Kester 951 Flux pen Hanstar 861DW Rework Station Pro'sKit SS-331 Desoldering Station SEQURE HT140 Desoldering Tweezers Multicore 60/40. 0.38mm solder AOYUE int883 PCB Preheater RIGOL DHO800 70MHz four-channel digital Oscilloscope Tektronix 2246A 100 MHz four-channel analog Oscilloscope FNIRSI DPOX180H 180MHz Handheld Oscilloscope UNI-T UT61E Auto Ranging Multimeter UNI-T UT890D Manual Ranging Multimeter FNIRSI LC1020E LCR/ESR meter TL866 II Plus Programmer InfiRay P2 Pro Thermal Camera TOMLOV TM4K-AF Flex Microscope Dremel 3000 with flexible shaft MaAnt Mini"Dremel" DeoxIT D5 Contact Cleaner PCBs from PCBWay.com - Support me on patreon.com/Epictronics Buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/epictronics Join me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/epictronics1 - Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio - #retro #computer #ibm #vintage
