There are 1 of these on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=14015246236…
IIRC would go hand in hand w/the terminal/controller
thing someone had for sale on here in the last couple
of weeks.
the 5364 looks cool. Needs a 5170 - no more, no less -
for the front end. Even looks like an AT.
Not enough krazee Big Blue stuph floating around if my
opinion means anything.
IINM, I spoke to a gentleman - YO DUDE! ;) - who was
working on a "System/36 on a chip". Just way too
groovy.
Stupid Cat's final bid didn't even break 8 bills :(

I just had a shipment (SoCal > NE PA). 150 lbs.,
about 90$. FedEx. BE WARNED. They routinely,
gratuitously, by necessity it seems beat the living
hell out of everything. You NEED to have the person
pack it well. Make that VERY WELL. I can pack
something that could withstand an H-bomb. Others
typically don't show the care :(.
Granted this wasn't an old puter, but a piece of cast
iron that arguably was worth 10x what I payed for it
(300$). I was prepared for the worst, though it just
might not turn out so bad. You gotta learn as you
live.
Perhaps someone near the auction can buy it, store it
for a bit, if you're short of cash. I like to hold off
on long distance shipments as much as possible. I keep
telling myself stuff like that will turn up nearer to
*home*, and will be free :). Sometimes it does. But
you can't count on this stuff being available
forevermore.

Well what can it be that is 150 lbs, and worth $3K.
Well it can't be a classic bath-tub ( the best kind ).
You could always ship by Greyhound.

Namely a German made metal lathe. Missing a few parts
hehe. But any competent machinist would tell you the
most important part is the bed anyway.
I would have loved to ship my keester out there. But
truthfully I probably wouldn't need a return ticket.
Not quite ready for that yet though. Maybe in a year+

I've had good results with Amtrak Express for medium-to-large
packages; Greyhound isn't bad either.

AAMOF, I wanted to buy something (an old Rivett lathe)
in the Chicago area over a year ago, and Greyhound was
telling me I couldn't even put the thing in the cargo
area. I guess your mileage can vary depending on which
idiot you get on the other end of the tin can.

Before I forget, and as I'm sure most already know,
someone's been trying to give away a 5360 on
marketplace.vintage.org for sometime. I don't feel
like logging in, so I can't "see everything", so I
don't know if it's still available, but I imagine it
would be.
I bet Sridhar already has one, so you won't have to
fight him for it LOL LOL LOL.
Can't remember where it was located, I want to say
Connecticut, but I could very well be wrong.

I understand this to be the conventional wisdom on the 5364, but the
conventional wisdom is wrong in this case. I have personally used
both an original 16k 5150 and a 5170 as a front end to my 5364. I
have been in contact with a gentleman who uses a PS/2 8530. The
requirements are strict, but not THAT strict.
