Anyone Have Knowledge or Experience on IBM SERIES/1 - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

10 May 2010

Trebor/Curt,

I have an IBM System 1 in my office in Wilmington, Delaware.  It was pulled 
...
 from production in working order but I have no idea how
to get it running.   I have a lot of the same components you've described.  I
worked with an 
ex-IBM tech for about three hours to do a system inventory and figure out 
what conntects to what, but that's about as far as we got.  I would love 
some help if anyone is in the MidAtlantic USA area and knows the Series 1 
hardware.

 Wow, Bob I wish I could help you out.  I installed one at Moody's 
 Investment back around 95-96' or so...  I used to have all the technical  
...
  manuals and such, its been so damned long, I think
I'd be as lost as you  
...
  are in trying to get the beastie up and running -
gorgeous machines 
 though, very nice design.
