Same goes for all big IBM iron. And this is in Santiago, Chile,
afterall.
Granted, there are actually quite a few computer collectors in SA (and
a
growing number of computer museums, believe it or not) but still, who
is
going to want this stuff?
If someone can get down to SA with a big truck, there's actually quite
a
bit of old (in some cases very old) IBM iron floating around down
there.
For those on the right ( i.e. not left...) side of the Atlantic :
a chap in Austria is desparate in getting rid of a nice looking IBM1130.
The system is currently on Ebay Austria, no bids with a day to go.
Sadly it is CPU only, i.e. no printer and cardreader, but does have a
nice collection of disk packs.
For those who know : is the software adaptable enough to reroute IO to
the console
I would still be tempted if it was not a 6 hour drive one way across
the Alps.
