You have to specify, which PS/2 you are asking for. There are differences
between the models and submodels. For example, the (old) model 80-041
had a ST506-controller, the submodels -071, -111 and -311 had ESDI-controllers.

I have the technical reference for my PS/2. (original IBM). It's expensive, 
but it's ok.
