Hi, I had my S/3 up and running till end 1991. Then I moved house and since then is it stored in my garage. If you like the write small programs in macro/assembler and like to single instruction step through it, the S/3 is the best. In the extreme you can even single cycle the machine. I have all IBM program listings of the OS, RPG, FORTRAN, COBOL etc etc on microfiche. I also have the IBM program logic manuals. I like to hack little bit in the OS. B.t.w. are interested in a real S/3 mod 15 ? -----Original Message----- From: Richard W.

But nice people that they were, they gave me a System/34, a System/36 (the big 5360 kind), two 3262 printers, two 8809 tape drives, a TDX-1050 tape controller/RS232 interface, and a Wang OIS-60 word processing system. I've fired up the printers and the tape drives and checked them out and I'm preparing to fire up the computers, S/36 first. Have you run your S/3? If so what do you do with it? I've always liked them; I have a picture of a S/3 and a S/34 hanging up at work. Richard Schauer
