           SYSTEM/2 320MB SCSI FIXED DISK DRIVE IBM PERSONAL SYSTEM/2 CD-ROM
           DRIVE
ABSTRACT          IBM announces the Personal System/2 (R) (PS/2  (R)) 1.44MB
           1-Inch High Diskette Drive, Personal System/2 320MB Small Computer
           System Interface (SCSI) Fixed Disk Drive and Personal System/2 CD-ROM
           Drive.  These options have been enhanced to provide compatibility
           with and across a wide range of PS/2 systems, including PS/2
           Models 90 and 95.
                  The PS/2 1.44MB 1-Inch High Diskette Drive (#1072, 6451072)
           supersedes the current PS/2 1.44MB Diskette Drive (#1026, 6451026).
           This option is supported in the same PS/2 models as its predecessor,
           as well as in the PS/2 Models 55 LS, 90 and 95.
                  The PS/2 320MB SCSI Fixed Disk Drive (320 million bytes)
           (#1108, 6451108) is functionally equivalent and supersedes the
           current PS/2 320MB SCSI Fixed Disk Drive (#1055, 6451055).  This
           option is supported in the same PS/2 models as its predecessor, as
           well as in the PS/2 Models 90, 95 and 3511-003.
                  The PS/2 CD-ROM Drive (#1113, 6451113) is functionally
           equivalent and supersedes the current PS/2 CD-ROM Drive
           (#0845, 6450845).  This option is supported in the same PS/2 models
           as its predecessor, as well as in the PS/2 Models 90, 95 and
           3511-003.

           SECURITY, AUDITABILITY AND CONTROL
                  Security and auditability features of the system in which this
           product is installed are:
           o   A mechanical lock to allow the user to lock the system cover
           o   A user-invoked password function used to prevent the use of the
               system by unauthorized persons.
           LIMITATIONS:  SCSI, as defined in the American National Standard
           Institute (ANSI) standard X3.131-1986, provides for multiple SCSI
           adapters (initiators) on the SCSI bus.  The SCSI bus may be internal
           or external to the system unit.  The PS/2 SCSI adapters are in
           conformance with this standard and have an external port.
                  A data security exposure exists even with Power-On Password
           installed, since external SCSI adapters can attach through the
           external SCSI port and gain undetected read or write access to data
           stored on internal and external SCSI devices.
                  Physical access to the system and external SCSI devices must
           be controlled to limit this exposure.
                  User management is responsible for evaluation, selection and
           implementation of security features, administrative procedures and
           appropriate controls in application systems and communications
           facilities.
