The next generation in personal computing

IBM Personal System/2 Model 60

*A powerful combination of capability and capacity*

IBM Personal System/2 Model 60 combines high performance with high capacity, making it an excellent choice for anyone
who manages large amounts of information, big projects or tight schedules.

In a systems network setting, this model can be used to share files and programs and provide rapid communications.
No matter how much there is to do, everyone can work at peak efficiency.

Here are just a few ways Model 60 can work for you and your business.

Manage more in less time. Model 60's Micro Channel architecture, fast 80286 microprocessor and 1Mb memory are the right combination to cut through big processing jobs in a hurry. And this model offers large — and expandable — fixed-disk storage to match its powerful performance.


Make Model 60 your network workhorse. When used with the new IBM Operating System/2, Model 60 will support advanced applications, multiple applications and a large number of peripheral devices. So you can use it for such important tasks as spreadsheet processing and data base management.

Or use it as a file and print server or communications gateway. However or wherever you put Model 60 to work, you can count on it to pull an impressive share of the load.

*Highlights*

Model 60 is available with a 44Mb or 70Mb fixed disk. Whichever you choose, you'll be getting a system that offers advanced features and functions to meet today’s requirements... and tomorrow's demands


New Micro Channel architecture provides wide data paths for fast processing and communications. It accounts for this system's balanced performance — even when supporting multiple tasks and input/output operations.

80286 microprocessor works at high speeds to help you complete large jobs quickly. For even greater calculation speed, an optional IBM 80287 Math Co-Processor can be installed,

1Mb user memory (expandable to 15Mb with memory expansion options) supplies workspace for advanced applications — even multiple applications — and volumes of data.

Integrated functions give you significant capability from the start. Model 60 comes ready with advanced colour and graphics capabilities, plus built-in support for your display, printer, keyboard even for a modem or mouse. And because all these features are built in, not added on at extra cost, you get more for your money and a system that's reliable, too.

Built-in Video Graphics Array (VGA) capabilities provide video-like clarity and detail for your graphics and text. These
advanced capabilities result in a screen image that's brilliant and natural-looking. VGA also supports CGA, EGA, and MCGA graphics and text.

A palette of over 256,000 colours plus, 64 shades of grey provides a wide spectrum to work with. You can view up to 256 colours at a time — and colours automatically convert to grey on a monochrome display. There's almost no limit to the contrast and shading you'll be able to create and view on-screen.

44Mb, 70Mb and optional 115Mb fixed disks provide ready-access storage for large files and applications, even elaborate data bases.
