OK, so this thread pushed my to pursue playing with DT/6000.? If anyone has documentation
on how exactly everything fits together, please let me know...if someone miraculously has
a copy of DT/6000 in their archive, I could use a copy.
Feel free to ping me off list to keep the noise here down.

Well, it turns out my floppies are for *3274* rather than 3174.? But,
that said, if anyone needs any of them, let me know: just shipping cost.

Classic Computer Fans,
I posted this to the IBM-Legacy-Hercules mailing list.? I just realized it
probably wouldn't hurt to post it here too.
I'm finally in possession of a box that hopefully is capable or can be made
capable of connecting a real terminal to Hercules.? It's a 3174 11L.? It was
retired last year where I work.? I finally got the okay to save it from
being sent to a scrapper.? I love the build quality of older IBM gear,
except when I'm trying to move such gear.? Between the 3174 and a 9406-520 I
also acquired, I pulled or strained something in my left arm moving them
into place.
It's currently wired to run on 220v.? I think I've seen mentioned somewhere
that it can be changed to run on 110v.? If that's the case, does anyone have
a pointer to documentation on what's involved?
It has dual floppy drives.? At least one drive is a 2.4MB drive.? But, all
the microcode disks I have are at level B 4.6.? Does anyone know where I can
get a set of C 6.4 control and control extension disks.? From what I've
heard those are what's needed to enable an attached terminal to connect to
other systems via telnet.
It has a token ring card.? I will probably be able to get the MAU it was
connected to, and possibly the router that acted as a token ring to Ethernet
bridge.
I'm not sure how much memory it has.? Does anyone have any tips on
determining the amount of memory it has, and/or identifying its boards?
These are the numbers on its boards:
???? 9210
???? 9351
???? 9052 z2
???? 9053
???? 9501
Plus the boards for coax connections.
I have some 3174 floppy disks, but I don't know what - they are not in
my inventory.? I will put it on my queue to look at them - but it may be
a couple of weeks.? I don't hold out much hope, but I will look.
