Pleas ID this IBM system....

Great! As Will says, this acquisition price is a small part of what it costs to move, install and repair the system, so they got a very reasonable deal. Can you at least tell us if it is coming stateside, or is it staying in Europe?

We may never know, with the secretive nature of big iron collectors.. I know one of the group that bought it, but I am not sure if they are on the list. I believe the intention is to attempt to restore the /20 + peripherals. Not sure about plans for the 370. It is a huge task, but they are keen. So rest assured it won't be scrapped, and it won't disappear into a collection. Please don't ask me who it is. They are welcome to announce themselves if they wish.
