The drive is missing just a open bay with a cable hanging there.
Had a Symbolics 3640 dropped off on Sunday evening
along with a Symbolics
model OP36-DISP display. Missing are the keyboard, FD, and all the needed
cables (power cord also). I opened the front door and saw two hard drives
mounted inside. Will also be looking for manuals and some software. Anyone
would information please email me.
I'm not sure abot power on a 3640. My 3630 has stock power cord. The
"refrigerator" 3600's are another matter - those are circular but you
can make an adapter easily.
(if I remember right the 3640 is just an "L" machine - i.e. stock TTL;
the 3630 is a G machine, which has FPGA's)
You're going to need a keyboard. And more important, a cable from the
monitor to the machine.
If you are luck it will just boot. Does it have a cart tape drive? if
so, assume the roller is goo. I would not use it unless you replace the
rubber parts.
I would get in touch with David Schmidt in VA. He can get a keyboard
for you and a monitor cable.
