Ongoing System/36 5362 saga

Hi again folks,

I'm back again for a frantic weekend of chores and housework before heading
back out on the the road doing this roadwarrior/consulting gig. Between
laundrymat runs I'm trying to push forward with this 5362 project. To date,
I've gotten it to IPL consistantly, read a diskette and go into diagnostic
mode. I've dug up some diskettes for it -- and may in fact have the SSP
here now -- that's what the labels say, but I can't confirm it. The only
problem is even the SSP diskettes appear to be password protected. I don't
yet have installation documentation for the beast. So I'm not sure what the
initial password would be. The SSP diskettes use an account called SYSSSP.
Does anyone know what the default password for that would be?

I'm also working on some password cracking information I found, to try and
recover the existing installation. The only problem is I don't yet have a
working diagnostic diskette, and the disk doesn't have the right routines
installed anymore.

Meanwhile, Al Kossow, has been slaving over a hot scanner with some 5360
maintenance docs. I'm working on a PDF version of those docs. With luck and
a fast spin-dryer at the laundrette, I hope to have them finished in the
next week or so. There's a buttload of them, so this is taking a while --
I'm setting up bookmarked TOCs to make them manageable/navigable. I'm doing
the same with the few pieces I have from my own system.

A number of other list members are trying to help me out -- and I thank
everyone for their assistance. You'all know who you is.
