Dear Classic Computing Community,
I'm on this list for quite a while an enjoy reading very much. As long I
have room for I'm collecting a bit myself. Some time ago I came in touch
with our local museum. They collected some stuff an put it in their storage
years ago. They eventually put the machines on display in future. The
storage had moved to another building and most of the information about the
systems in storage has been lost. In the last weeks i tried to identify most
of the bigger stuff, but now I'm stuck. It seems that there are a couple
IBM-Systems, but I'm not familiar with IBM. As long I found out:
There is an 1131 CPU and a 1403 Printer - I think this machine (CPU and
Printer) is rather complete. I contacted the guys at ibm1130.org last week,
they are very nice and helpful! Does anybody know what power connection
would be needed to fire this one up? With _lots_ of cleaning and some repair
work it should be in working order...
Then we have a Pile of various IBM-Stuff, which I cannot determine which
belongs together. I hope you can help out a bit - I'll list the stuff below:
2319-Disk Storage
2821-Control Unit
3047-Power Unit - I couln't find anything on this box...
3145-Processing Unit - This should be a Sys/370 Model 145, as far I found
out...
3215-Console - Maybe for the 3145?
3330-Disk, 3 Cabinets.
3741-Data Station. Like the one seen on
http://fwtunesco.org/musi/wolz/ but
with only one drive.
3830-Storage Control - Disk? I have no details on this. Suggestions?
5415-Processing Unit - System 3 Model 15 is all I know...
5445-??? It should be some sort of Mass Storage Controller...
One Dual Drive for - I think - Disk Stacks/Packs, It is a top loading
device, like 2 washing machines side by side... - I couldn't read the number
as it's near the wall and I could not move it.
There is another Diskdrive too, wich seems to be like the 3330, but some
different...
All I could do is to list the devices. As I have 2 CPU's I think there are 2
Systems. Any suggestions?
There is some Siemens Stuff too...
One System 300/320 Processor Cabinet with 2 additional Racks. A System
300-R10 Processor Rack. The machines look like 16-Bit, with nice
blinkenlights and flipswitches. A papertape-reader/punch and a dual
9(?)-track drive (on this drive there are still 2 tapes loaded - One is
labeled System) are the only peripherals i have. I really want to get the
tape off the drive to a) read it or b) store it in adequate environment. Is
there some information present about siemens stuff? I googled for a while,
but there was nothing really statisfying info out there...
In Addition to all above we have a "Data 100 Batch Terminal" wich seems to
be a card reader/punch. Does somebody know them? Some Documentation should
be here, but as with all the docs I couldn't dig through all the binders and
boxes ...
Please excuse my horrible english, but I hope you could imagine what has
been meant :)
My best Regards,
Wolfgang Eichberger
PS.: For my private Interests I am looking for a PDP 11/23 maybe with one or
two RL02 drives, if somebody knows some sources. It could be a different
processor or a nice microvax as well :)
