Daniel,
Does the system 34 use *" floppy disks? I don't know anything about S34
but I think I got a bunch of disks this weekend and I think some them are
original disks for the S 34.

I went and started the System/34 yesterday... Gave it a
good looking-over
first. The PSU is really interesting - There's a transfomer bigger than my
head, wires about a quarter-inch thick, and stickers all over that say
"DANGER! 580 VOLTS!" and "LINE POWER HERE WITH MACHINE POWERED OFF"
But I found one little note inside which makes me think that it's
single-phase
reading "INPUT POWER 208V/1PH".
Anyway, the previous owner gave me a userid and password, so I started
it up - It's all menuized. Cute. The MACHINE IN USE light is burned out
too.
Oh - On the CE panel thee's a LAMP TEST button. It
turns on ALL the lamps,
not the the CE-panel lamps. Also, on power-on, you have to push LOAD to
read in the bootstrap. Then supply it with a username and password.
I was tld MJR was the system manager - Is that standard on all IBM stuff?
