    It is available as a floppy image at the IBM download page. The
    Windows that came on the system will also have it. You need to either
    boot Windows or the DOS disk from IBM.

    ps2 is the IBM utility to adjust BIOS parameters. While these can also
    be adjusted under Windows, many are never written to CMOS and are lost
    on re-boot. (Windows re-loads them from the registry.) ps2 will change
    the values in CMOS memory.
