With the introduction of the desktop 80386-based PS/2 Model 70s in June, and the soon-to-be-announced XT bus 80286-based machine, IBM’s PS/2 line is something of a jumble with the 70s faster than the floorstanding 80; there is anyway not much demand for the pedestal models. Accordingly, the floorstanding 80286-based Model 60s with 44Mb and 70Mb disk are now on limited availability, implying they are being discontinued, as is the low-end 44Mb version of the Model 80 – people need bigger disks on 386 boxes. The new improved Model 50 survives.
