Microport is currently selling Unix Vr2 for the PS2/60 (286) with support 
for ONLY the st-506 hard disk controller.

(* Off the soapbox, IMHO: (I'm not involved at all with the PS/2 engineering)
   Support for the ESDI controller (and the Model [78]0) "should" be avaliable
   late 1Q89.  If the Model 50Z uses the same ESDI controller as the 60/70/80,
   this new version "should" also work on it.
