It's all fun and games until this song gets stuck in your head for four days. Trust me.

Is this where the ps/2 port for mice and keyboards got its name?

[AIM9XSW]

@spunker88 Yep, that is correct.

[mstcrow5429]

@spunker88 Yes, the PS/2 port was introduced with the failed IBM PS/2 line.

Looks like a 8570 with the ever popular 8512 vga monitor.. Fixed many many of them back then. these units sold for over 3k. many many of them ran perfectly for years untill the Y2K scare ended their lives. BTW the 8512 monitor would never display full screen.. go figure
