How about Series/1?
The Series/1 was the first entry by IBM into the minicomputer market as such.
I just happen to have one sitting in my Basement. Brought it home around 1992 but never
got it up and running. Should have added a 110 Volt 30 AMP Circuit but didn't. Its a
4952/4953 Half Rack W/a 9Meg HD setup for 110 Volts. Plus I have a external Floppy drive
that used to work. I had an IBM Guy convert a 4955 Model E to 110 volt but I also have to
original 4952. I plan on firing up the individual components through my Lab-Volt with a
variable 120 Volt 3.5 Ampere Output if that will work without blowing something. "Any
Thoughts Anyone???"
Anyone out there running a tape drive setup that could read 6250 10" reels. I have
about a Dozen, mostly backup tapes from the Working system. One is an IBM Diagnostic Tape.
Maybe I can get in running. Going out west for a couple of weeks to Pan out some Gold
flakes. A couple of Ounces will give me some cash to work with. Been retired since 1996 so
Income is sparse.
