[What's 5363?]
That's an IBM System/36. Once you get in, it's a nice menuized thing, easy
to deal with. I have one, and I'm getting another.
SSP means System Support Product. I guess it's the O/S...
You will need a twinax terminal to use it. They're neat to have.
Especially if you get manuals and the SSP floppies...
As for the password, it took me 3 tries to get into mine.
Username BACKUP, password was PASS. Nice.
It can be reloaded from the SSP disks (I don't have these. Anyone got images?)
to bypass the passwords...
Also, see if you can get the key that goes in the frontpanel. It's not
necessary to run the machine, but it lets you put the machine in Service
mode and you can make it do fun things like dump core.
I have bypassed this on my box by wiring the key permanently in the SERVICE
position.
If you get it, I'd be glad to help run it...
