The '''IBM Personal System/2 Model 80 386''' (IBM machine type '''8580''') is IBM's 80386DX-based floor-standing tower, announced on 2 April 1987 with the rest of the original PS/2 line. It uses the same tower chassis, side cover, drive support structure, power-supply form factor and battery/speaker assembly as the [[IBM PS/2 Model 60|Model 60]], with a 32-bit Micro Channel planar in place of the Model 60's 16-bit one.<ref name="a187051">IBM Announcement Letter 187-051, "IBM Personal System/2 Model 80 (8580-041/071)", 2 April 1987, reproduced at [https://www.ardent-tool.com/8580/187-051.txt ardent-tool.com].

Note that the 25 MHz machines are '''SCSI''', not ESDI, and that the entry-level -041 uses an '''ST-506''' drive rather than ESDI. IBM introduced SCSI to the PS/2 line as a standard feature with the -A21 and -A31.<ref name="a190055" /><ref name="at8580c" />

== Micro Channel Slots ==

Every 8580 has '''eight''' slots, but the split is not what the total suggests and it changes with the planar. There is '''no 8-bit slot''' and there are not seven 32-bit slots.

* '''16 MHz and 20 MHz planars''': three 32-bit slots (J1, J2, J4) and five 16-bit slots (J3, J5, J6, J7, J8), one of which — J6 — carries the auxiliary video extension. IBM's announcement describes it as "eight I/O bus slots with five 16-bit and three 16/32-bit (one 16-bit slot is occupied by the disk controller adapter)".<ref name="a187051" /><ref name="at8580t1">[https://www.ardent-tool.com/8580/Planar_T1.html 8580 Type 1 Planar], Ardent Tool of Capitalism.

* '''25 MHz planar''': four 32-bit slots with Matched Memory Extension (J10–J13) and four 16-bit slots (J14, J15, and J6 and J7 with the auxiliary video extension), with one 16-bit slot occupied by the SCSI controller. IBM quotes "seven available adapter slots".<ref name="at8580t3" /><ref name="a190055" />

Because the on-board VGA provides the base video capability there is no base video extension slot on the planar — only the auxiliary video extension slots.<ref name="atcommon80" />

<ref name="at8580t1" /><ref name="at8580t2" /><ref name="at8580t3" />

The 25 MHz planar is a Japanese design — it is the board used in the PS/55 Model 5570-Vxx — and it shares its core logic with the 25 MHz [[IBM PS/2 Model 70|Model 70]] planar rather than with the earlier 8580 boards.<ref name="at8580t3" />

The two base frame assemblies are '''not interchangeable'''. FRU 64F0157 is used on the -041 through -321 and contains a metal back plane required for EMC, which should not be removed. FRU 64F0158 is used on the -A16, -A21 and -A31 and has no back plane, because that planar has components on its solder side.<ref name="at8580c" />

== Planar ==

* '''Processor.''' 80386DX soldered or socketed on the planar — U13 on the Type 1, U131 on the Type 2, U96 on the Type 3 — with a socket for an 80387DX beside it.<ref name="at8580t1" /><ref name="at8580t2" /><ref name="at8580t3" />
* '''Cache.''' None on the 16 and 20 MHz planars. The 25 MHz planar carries an Intel 82385-25 cache controller (U54) and eight Mitsubishi M5M5178P-33 8 K × 8 SRAMs, giving 64 KB of L2.<ref name="at8580t3" /><ref name="qref80" />
* '''Memory.''' Two '''memory-expansion connectors''' on the planar — J15 and J16 on the 16/20 MHz boards, J8 and J9 on the 25 MHz board — which take IBM's own 80386 planar memory cards. '''These are not 72-pin SIMM sockets and PS/2 SIMMs do not fit them.''' The 16 and 20 MHz planars take 1 MB and 2 MB 80 ns cards to a board maximum of 4 MB; the 25 MHz planar supports 8 MB using 4 MB System Memory Boards. Beyond that, memory goes on Micro Channel adapters, to a system ceiling of 16 MB.<ref name="at8580mem">[https://www.ardent-tool.com/8580/Memory.html 8580 Planar Memory], Ardent Tool of Capitalism.

* '''Real-time clock.''' A '''Motorola MC146818A''' soldered to the planar — U187 on the Type 1, U186 on the Type 2, U132 on the Type 3 — with a 32.768 kHz crystal beside it, plus a separate 2 K × 8 SRAM holding the Micro Channel configuration. '''There is no Dallas RTC module on this planar and no battery inside the clock chip.'''<ref name="at8580t1" /><ref name="at8580t2" /><ref name="at8580t3" />
* '''Battery.''' A separate 6 V two-cell lithium pack, FRU 72X8498, in the battery/speaker assembly FRU 33F5950, connected to the planar at J18 (Type 1 and 2) or J19 (Type 3).<ref name="atbatt">[https://www.ardent-tool.com/misc/Battery_Speaker_Assembly.html Battery/Speaker Assembly], Ardent Tool of Capitalism.

* '''Video.''' VGA on the planar — a 72X8287 or 90X8941 VGA controller, an INMOS IMSG171 RAMDAC and eight 64 K × 4 DRAMs for 256 KB of video memory. 720 × 400 in text mode, 640 × 480 in graphics, 256 colours or 64 shades of grey. Composite video is not supported.<ref name="at8580t1" /><ref name="at8580t2" /><ref name="atcommon80" />
* '''Fuses.''' The 25 MHz planar carries three: F2 at 1 A, F3 at 1.5 A and F4 at 2.0 A, with pads for a fourth.<ref name="at8580t3" />
* '''Ports.''' VGA (HD15), serial (DB-25), parallel, auxiliary device and keyboard along the rear edge. The 25 MHz machines' parallel port supports DMA transfers.<ref name="at8580t1" /><ref name="a190055" />

'''Warning.''' Some non-IBM graphics adapters '''drive''' the VGA signals rather than receiving them. Fitting two adapters that both drive VGA will damage both.<ref name="atcommon80" />

== What Actually Fails ==

The Model 80 planar '''does not carry surface-mount aluminium electrolytic capacitors'''. Photographs of the Type 1 and Type 2 planars show through-hole dipped tantalum beads and surface-mount ceramics for rail decoupling; there are no electrolytic cans on the board to leak. The "PS/2 plague" that damages some PS/2 assemblies is not this board's failure mode.<ref name="at8580t1" /><ref name="at8580t2" />

What does fail, in rough order of how often you will meet it:

* '''Dust on the planar under the power-supply fan.''' The supply's fan draws household dust directly onto a sensitive area of the board. Conductive dust between IC pins produces lost configuration, a wildly wrong clock and disk read/write errors — faults that look like a dead battery or a dead drive. On a Model 80 board the ICs in that area are the 8042 keyboard controller, the MC146818A, the diskette controller, the NS16550 UART, the RTC crystal and sometimes an 8259A.<ref name="atcommon80" />
* '''The power switch.''' Roughly half of failed Model 80 supplies have failed on a broken power switch — the red ones more often than the white. The same switch was used in IBM 327x and 525x terminals and is known for it; it was available as a spare.<ref name="atpwr80">[https://www.ardent-tool.com/60_65_80/Power.html 60, 65 SX, and 80 — Power Supply], Ardent Tool of Capitalism.

* '''The diskette drive''', whose logic board uses surface-mount electrolytics that go open-circuit or high-ESR.<ref name="atfdd">[https://www.ardent-tool.com/floppy/8580.html 8580 Diskette Drives], Ardent Tool of Capitalism, content by Fred Spencer and Al Savage.

== Power Supply ==

The tower supplies share one form factor and one planar pinout across the 8560, 8565 and 8580, but not one rating. IBM's own technical reference lists heat outputs for three:<ref name="m80tr">IBM, ''IBM Personal System/2 Model 80 386 Technical Reference'', October 1990 — hosted on this wiki as [[:File:IBM PS2 Model 80 Technical Reference Oct90.pdf]].

Rail limits, the connector pinout and the supply's protection behaviour are on the [[IBM PS/2 Model 80 Maintenance Guide|maintenance page]]. The 225 W unit is the one PS/2 assembly for which a full component-level schematic exists, so the Model 80 is unusually well served for power-supply repair.<ref name="psusch">Eric Schlaepfer ("Tube Time"), ''IBM PS/2 225 W Power Supply 72X6665 — reverse-engineered schematic'', 2024, CC BY-SA 4.0 — hosted on this wiki as [[:File:IBM PS2 225W Power Supply 72X6665 Reverse-Engineered Schematic (Tube Time 2024).pdf]].

== Drive Bays ==

IBM counts five or six storage positions: four 3.5-inch half-height (two of them accessible from the front) plus one 5.25-inch full-height, which can instead be fitted with two 3.5-inch half-height drives using the SCSI Fixed Disk Drive Kit A.<ref name="qref80" /> The 25 MHz machines support five internal storage devices as standard and six with an option.<ref name="a190055" />

The 44 MB, 70 MB, 115 MB and 314 MB drives are 5.25-inch full-height units; the SCSI drives are 3.5-inch half-height. IBM's published power figures are 31–39 W for the 44–115 MB drives, 35–42 W for the 314 MB drive and 13–19 W for a 3.5-inch SCSI drive — worth knowing before loading a tired supply.<ref name="qref80" /><ref name="atpwr80" />

Configuration is held in CMOS and set from a Reference Diskette rather than a BIOS setup screen — Set Configuration and Automatic Configuration, Set Features, the power-on password functions and Advanced Diagnostics (Ctrl-A). The Model 70 and Model 80 share a Reference Diskette image.<ref name="at8580c" />

The BIOS on the 8570 and 8580 does not support the IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide adapter; that card is supported on the 8590, 8595 and 957x machines only.<ref name="at8580c" />

== Common Faults ==

* '''Lost configuration, a clock that does not advance, or 161 / 162 / 163 at POST.''' Check the battery — and then check the planar for dust under the supply fan, which produces the same symptoms.<ref name="atcommon80" /><ref name="aterr">[https://www.ardent-tool.com/trouble/ps2error.html PS/2 Error Codes] and the linked code tables [https://www.ardent-tool.com/trouble/error_02.html 160–199], [https://www.ardent-tool.com/trouble/error_04.html 300–999] and [https://www.ardent-tool.com/trouble/error_08.html 10000–11999], Ardent Tool of Capitalism. Secondary source; the tables reproduce IBM's own symptom-to-FRU lists.</ref>
* '''Machine dead with no fan.''' Suspect the power switch before the supply electronics.<ref name="atpwr80" />
* '''110 parity error, particularly with a bus-master adapter fitted.''' See the ECA list below; early boards have a documented bus-mastering problem.<ref name="at8580c" />
* '''Diskette faults and 6xx errors.''' Failed surface-mount electrolytics on the drive's logic board, or dirt on the planar's diskette controller.<ref name="atfdd" />
* '''1780 on a -041.''' IBM's own retain tip says to verify that the fixed disk cables are installed correctly before anything else.<ref name="atcommon80" />
* '''OS/2 Trap 0002 or NMI errors on a 25 MHz machine with 8 MB on the planar.''' ECA 051 — see below.<ref name="at8580t3" />
* '''Linux SCSI failures above 16 MB of RAM.''' The 8580 restricts DMA to the lower 16 MB; the ibmmca driver needs its unchecked_isa_dma flag set.<ref name="at8580c" />

|-
| 051 || 25 MHz -A16, -A21 and -A31 with 8 MB of planar memory || Intermittent OS/2 Trap 0002 or NMI errors. Physical check: if the modules at U24 and U34, near memory connectors J8 and J9, are marked '''FCT841''', the board qualifies for replacement. Any other marking — F841, 841D, 72F841, 72F841D — is good. Ignore anything printed on the board near the module; read the module itself
|-
| 069 || Down-level diskette drives on early PS/2 machines including the 8580 || 162 with 601 at POST
