Well, I can't be too annoyed since I'm the one
that put them there :) But
that was basically my point: without any real chance of getting a full
system, what's the point of having them? You can get them running in a
test mode and have a tape being de-spooled from one reel onto a take-up
reel, but that's about it.
The 3803 will do quite a bit of things - but yes, without a bus and tag
equipped processor, not much happens.
The small ES/9000 (the 9221), or an S/390, can use a 3480 system.
