There is an IBM 9370 Mainframe coming available in my area, and I'm
considering acquiring it (never had my own mainframe to play with).
I haven't been able to find much on the Web about this family of systems.
Can anyone point me to some info or confirm/deny the following facts:

System produced: circa 1986 - 1988
Intended market: "departmental mainframe", 20-100 users
Operating system: VM/SE
Dimensions: Refridgeratorish
Weight: 300 lb racks; 200-300 lb processor assembly; drives ???
Typical peripherals: DASD drives, high-volume, heavy printers (500 lbs +),
tape drives, PS/2 consoles
Networking: ASCII subsystem for terminals, Ethernet?
Power and Cooling requirements: 3 phase power (240 V)??

I suspect that this system will be too large for my available space; is
anyone else in or near Western Canada interested in the system in whole or
in part? Thanks for any help.
