I have someone trying to give me an IBM system/45, supposedly in pristine
working condition with boot tapes, etc.
I don't know anything about theses, not being a big IBM fan. To help
determine if I want this, can someone answer the following?
A) What OS did it run
B) Programmers front panel? Ok, I'll admit it, I like blinkenlitzen
C) Rough size?
D) Power requirements?
E) Most helpfull, would be a picture?
Thanks in advance!
Please reply to jlwest(a)tseinc.com AND west(a)tseinc.com
Cheers!

Never heard of a System/45
What is it and when was it made?

Hmmm, I am taking a leap here but I'm guessing he's talking about a 4000
series server. (4531 sticks in my mind but isn't verified by IBM docs)
There is a complete line of "small" 3xx architecture machines (we had one
at Sun) that ran OS/VM and CICS and TSO.
If it is then these are the answers:
A) What OS did it run
OS/VM, TSO/MVS, CICS, AIX
B) Programmers front panel? Ok, I'll admit it, I
like blinkenlitzen
No, but there was a special 3270 terminal with light pen
that had the "console" on it.
C) Rough size?
Think long VAX 6000. The one at Sun was 5' tall and probably
8' long.
D) Power requirements?
240 three phase.
E) Most helpfull, would be a picture?
This I've not found.
