The CSIPH Newsgroup
comp.sys.ibm.ps2.hardware aka
"CSIPH" is a newsgroup dedicated primarily to the PS/2 line, even the non-MCA
models. It is inhabited mainly by people who are enthusiasts, obsessives,
M.A.D., or all three!
You can search through older posts (21 Jun 1990 – 21 Feb 2024) using
the Google Groups
service. As of Feb 2024, the interface no longer supports new newsgroup posts
and subscriptions.
For full (read-write) access, you will need a newsreader (e.g.
Thunderbird) and an NNTP provider
(e.g. Kevin Bowling's CSIPH server or
Eternal September).

If you prefer social networks to connect with other people, you are welcome
