Currently Playing: IBM PS/2 Model 80 restoration & mods. 386DX25

In this retro computing restoration, I restore and modify an original 1987 IBM PS/2 Model 80 tower with a 386DX-25 CPU. Follow a complete vintage PC teardown, cleaning, and repair, including diskette drive restoration and removal of decomposed internal foam. I also upgrade the system with a SCSI hard drive and demonstrate proper PS/2 SCSI configuration and setup. Perfect for vintage IBM enthusiasts, retro PC collectors, classic hardware repair fans, and anyone interested in IBM PS/2 restoration, upgrades, and historical PC engineering. - Support me on patreon.com/Epictronics Buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/epictronics - Turning this IBM into a retro gaming rig here: https://youtu.be/I3ETq51n3xM?si=HcFZ_sMxnjbOSU85 - 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
