Does anyone have an idea what these IBM model numbers
are like more precisely ??
3380- AD/AE DL131 BE4
[lots of model numbers]
3390 "2"
A28
I am particularly concerned about disks inside these machines;
is there anything known ? Is any documentation available ?
Really heavy, and at one point, really large (in capacity). To use any of
these DASDs (yes, they are only hard disks, not whole mainframes), you
would need the controllers - 3880 and 3890. The drives themselves will not
do much on their own.
I hope you are not thinking about those 3380s and 3390s on eBay right now
- $500 a piece?!!?!?!!
