I owned a PS/1, still have a stack of about 30 floppies that could have
been used to reinstall the OS (Windows 3.1; I may have installed Windows
for Workgroups and/or Windows 95 on it later). Originally had a 5¼"
floppy drive and a 3½" floppy drive, one combined device in a 5¼" drive
bay. The CPU was a 486.
I may have tried to install Linux at some point, I also used it as a
Samba client, an SSHv1 client, a Telnet client, and running some free
but not open-source X Windows server with a Linux server I owned at the
same time.
Eventually I submitted the case and motherboard to electronics recycling
after the motherboard exhibited semiregular bus errors and the
hard-drive had a lot of bad sectors. I pulled out the 16-bit modem and
16-bit network card, but didn't have any othr motherboards that would
take them.
The monitor was SVGA, but that burned out around 2006 or 2008. It didn't
support very high resolution, either.
