Hey, I bought one of these systems that i think it is one of the best pc case designs in history because of how it looks.
the model its an aptiva ps/1 model 2168 and it came with a 486 50mhz cpu.
my problem is that i think ibm released so many of these aptiva during years that its difficult to me to find out what was the original monitor, the original mouse, and the original keyboard, and what are the original speakers. because in that era they changed the designs a lot from one year to another
The keyboard i am 100% sure it was a Model M2,
but not sure what mouse model and what monitor model it came with. and i would like to retore it completely.
also the hard drive came intact with the recovery folder in the hdd, the sad thing is that it was made in mexico and came with the win 3.1 in spanish. and i would like to know if its possible, maybe someone here has the exact same system with the recovery folder with the ENGLISH version of win 3.1 perhaps you can share a copy of the recovery folder files.
Another thing i would like to know is how do i enter the BIOS? i can't find a key combination that will let me go into the bios
Im asking this because my plan is to buy a model m2 keyboard, ibm mouse, and speakers to make it full original, but i need the matching models.
if there is any IBM love in the forum that can help please post with pictures or model numbers of the original accessories that came with it.
thank you
