Anyone in the US (preferably close to Iowa, but I suspect that's wishful
thinking) got a 5250 that they might be able to spare? I now have the
space to work on bringing my System/34 to working order and it didn't come
with a terminal.
While I'm at it, anyone particularly familiar with the /34 that would be
willing to lend me their ear now and then as I'm working on it?
Thanks;

I haven't touched one in years, but I worked with one before. I might be able to help
get it fired up. Also, if anyone can think of a way to scan and process them, I still have
a box of microfiche with source code for the S/34 SSP.

I have two 5250s on my System/36 (5360), but I don't really want to
part with either of them. I might be willing to work out a long-term
loan, though, if you strike out elsewhere. Please keep me posted as to
your progress; this family of IBM machines strongly piques my curiosity.

I have two 5291 terminals that I would be willing to get rid of. They were
used with a System/34 (that I still have). I cannot guarantee that they are
functional other than that the CRT comes up with a normal screen.
I am in Ohio, 45865.
Contact me directly if you are interested and we can negotiate the details.

I may be able to help although my background was from an application standpoint:? RPG II,
Cobol, WSU,OCL, DFU,Query, etc.

Hi Dave
Was it you who had the 370? If so what's the status on it?

Oooh, THAT definitely needs to get scanned!

Yes, that's me. It's still right in the garage where we pulled it
off the truck. It has been a very busy few months for me and I've not
been able to get to it. I'm crossing my fingers for some time this fall.

Well at least it's found a good home. Being a DEC man I know little about
IBM systems except 6150 AIX boxes.

Ahh, RTs! I have two here, one desktop and one pedestal. I really
like those machines for some reason. Like you, I've always been a DEC
guy primarily, but over the past few years I've branched out a bit,
mainly in the IBM direction. They have some fascinating stuff.
