When IBM was big on PS/2 and its MCA, their early models were based upon it.
The P70/P75 weren't notebooks or laptops, but luggables with gas plasma
displays. The P70 was 386 based, and the P75 was 486 based. Both actually had
MCA expansion slots.
If the unit you had was beige and B&W, it could have been an L40SX or an N
series model. I would bet on the L40SX.
