IBM publishes a CD known as the "white pages" or consultants guide which
covers a large varriety of equipment that can be searched by"machine type" or
text string. I will follow up with a contact # if I can find it. The drawback
with this list is that as things get older they are dropped off the list. By
the way, the 3089 is a check sorter used in LARGE banks. I deal in IBM
mainframe stuff and can help with i.d.'s if you need it. I am looking for a
listing of FRU's (field replaceable units) or part numbers in a digital
format. If you know of anything like that available, I would appreciate it if
you could pass it along.

A bit wierd that it fell between the numbers of some of their bigger
water-cooler beasts (3081,2,3 and 3090).

Oh, that would be great! Some of us on the list enjoy the big iron, and
would love to have some. Mainframes are not well represented in
collections (for a good reason) - in fact, I think of all of the
subscribers and collections on this list, there is only one S/360, a 9370,
and then Pierce's Pile.

Well, somewhere around here I have a FRU list for the first series of
RS/6000s - I think in one of the maintenance manuals. I would like to get
it into text, but that would involve scanning/OCR, neither of which I have
time for right now. A future project, however, it is.
I wonder if IBM would complain if the information was posted.
