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.
