	I recently bought a PS/2 55SX without the knowledge that MicroChannel
Architecture makes the PS/2 incompatible (hardware wise) with other pc's.  I
have some questions that I hope someone out there can answer.

		(1)  Can you hook up any external floppy drive or do you have
		     to have a special one?  I heard that a special type was
		     needed.  If anyone has one for sell, I am interested in
		     purchasing one.

		(2)  Can you use any internal modem?  Again I heard that you
		     had to have a special one that cost $300+ .  A bit steep
		     if you ask me.  Again I am interested in buying one.

		(3)  What type of memory does the PS/2 use?  I looked 
		     thoroughly through the so called manual and I couldn't
		     find anything on the type of memory used.  I need two
		     megs.  If anyone has some for sale, again I am 
		     interested in buying. 


	That is all I can think of right now.  Please send all comments, 
replies, slanders, etc. to :

	Thanx in advance . . .
