IBM System/23

Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2000 08:44:51 -0500 From: Taylor <lstaylor(a)siu.edu> Subject: IBM System/23 Have a friend who just acquired an IBM system/23. He thought it might be something on which he could set up some of today's educational software etc., for his kids (he's not computer literate yet) Anyway to make a long story short, this stuff is sitting in the back of his truck awaiting a trip to the local junkyard and I just found your museum yesterday while I was searching for info on this old system. All hardware appears to be present, though not put together as your picture shows. There are two boxes of about 1982 vintage manuals (some still in shrink wrap) It appears there is an old version of basic available. There are at least 2 eight? inch floppy disks with it. Don't know if this thing was ever set up and used or not. It's a bit grimy from sitting in a garage somewhere and the manuals smell musty, so the "storage" conditions weren't the best. If you think there are any possibilties for this thing, please let me know. Located in southern Illinois in Carbondale (where the University is) about 90 miles SE of St Louis MO. and 75 mile NW of Paducah KY. if that helps email is lstaylor(a)siu.edu Thanks for your time...
