The '''IBM Personal System/2 Model 30''' (machine type '''8530''') is one of the four original IBM PS/2 systems announced on April 2, 1987 alongside the [[IBM PS/2 Model 50/60|IBM PS/2 Model 50]], [[IBM PS/2 Model 50/60|IBM PS/2 Model 60]] and [[IBM PS/2 Model 70/80|IBM PS/2 Model 80]]. The Model 30 was the lowest-end entry of the original four and was designed to directly replace the IBM PC and [[IBM PC XT (5160)|PC XT]]. Unlike the higher-end original PS/2 models, the Model 30 retains an '''ISA''' expansion bus rather than the new Micro Channel Architecture (MCA), making it electrically compatible with PC/XT and (with the Model 30 286) PC/AT expansion cards.
