In my case, it's not the dearth of technical
information that makes me
not collect old IBMs; it's the over-abundance in my area of old IBMs to
collect. There's no CHALLENGE in it! I could fill my entire house with
just the equipment I get offered on a monthly basis!
If you say that you are being offered S/360 and 370 stuff (or even S/3), I
am going to have to kill you for turning it down. Then I need to rent a
BIG truck.
Somehow, I think that you probably mean S/3x stuff, whick really is a bit
common.
And whatever you do (or anyone on this list), NEVER turn down the TCMs
(Thermal Conduction Modules - they look like serious integrated circuits
with 1000+ pins) from the 308x and 3090 series machines. They are
apparently in VERY short supply.
