Howdy,
Interesting machine you have, they seem to be rare:
http://www.ibmfiles.com/pages/intellipower185.htm
I don't see an attachment, but if you can post a link to it somewhere

the mailing list. Another option might be to boot it with a serial 
connection for output, so you can just copy and paste the text instead of 
an image.
