IBM seems to be breaking every rule in its own book these days, and if Newsbytes Europe is to be believed, another one has just been atomised: the newswire says that IBM Deutschland revealed that at press conferences called for May 5 in New York and Parism it will announce new models in the PS/2 line and other new products; the wire reckons that there will be a PS/2 Model 70 suggested to be an 80386 laptop, which sounds a bit unlikely; a new PS/2 Model 40, presumably the 80286 machine that lays the Model 30 to rest; and a fast 40Mb hard disk for the pedestrian Model 50; the diskless version of the Model 50, which is already available in limited quantities, is also expected to be announced formally as a product.
