I got an IBM service tape (reel)with it and it has 4 hard drives and I'm
hoping they still have the OS on one of them. It came from the city surplus
warehouse and the guy told me that they paid over $300,000 for it 10 years
ago. He said it just ran out of memory for them to keep using it. Once I
get to power it up I will update you on the OS. John
