The IBM System/36 was a minicomputer series marketed by IBM from 1983
to 2000, see - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System/36
A local businessman contacted me about getting rid of his
installation. I live just south of Jacksonville, FL, the machine is in
Switzerland, FL - http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Switzerland%2C%20FL&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org…
He has a unit 5360, with a 5224 line printer, and two 5291 terminals.
Here's some pics I found online - http://www.corestore.org/36.htm

I picked up an old 9-track drive and thus far I've been unable to
identify what, precisely, it is.
I have a couple of pictures at: http://yahozna.dyndns.org/scratch/9-track
It has no manufacturer or brand information on it other than an
"Interface Data, Inc." label on the front and a label on the back
indicating that it is Model No. 9946. I can't find any information at
all on the 'net going by this information. I'm guessing that it's a
rebranded drive. It is a desktop unit, horizontally mounted and
self-threading. As far as I can tell from examining it and fooling
around with the front panel buttons it has a SCSI interface and does
1600 and 3200bpi. In the back of the unit are 5 slots, 4 of which are
filled with cards.
It appears to power up fine, but I can't get it to show up on the SCSI
bus when hooked to a PC -- I don't know if the interface is broken or if
there's some configuration I need to do.
Any ideas? I'd like to find a manual for it so I can figure out what it
can do and how to configure it.
Thanks as always,
Josh
Hi David,
I collect old computers and calculators and I have a hp85b, but no
accessoirs. So I am interested, but, yeah, but I am not near, maybe,
if nobody will pick it up, you may think about packing the stuf??
With best regards
Gerhard
