Hey everybody! Long time no see. Anybody ever heard of a fake IBM computer? I got this "bookshelf" computer with an IBM badge. I opened it up and none of the parts has a FRU number on them. Also, it has a Large sticker on the side that says "Made in Canada" with a model number of 912241E. I haven't found this model through Google and I am still trying to track it down and one of my methods is to check here. Its a year and a half old and its got a 1.1ghz Celeron. Points for anybody who can steer me in the right direction.

Hi

It appears you a genuine IBM computer.

Check the following link:

I hope this helps

The link seems to be to non active. Go to IBM's website. There is a Search bar on this page and you can enter 912241e into it and it will take you to the page.

Hmmm, seems to be a actual IBM product but there aren't any drivers listed and no info except specs. Still doesn't explain the lack of FRU numbers.
