Anyone who knows a thing or two about the Series 1 is welcome to have access, it's set up and power is available until at least July.? After that I have to move it. I wish I had more time for it myself.? So far I have un-parked the 4962 hard drive, wired the component cables, and tried to access the control panel.? I have a limited knowledge of IBM minicomputers, just enough to know that these kinds of minicomputers don't just power up and say READY when you attach a? monitor to them.???In short the operational condition is unknown.???The individual components power up. Anyway, here is a list of the components. qty) Description 2) 6' IBM 4997 Rack Units with shelves to house the processor and peripherals. 1) IBM 4956 Processor 1) Cambex Corp Model 80810 2-tape drive storage device (no tapes) 1) IBM 4962 8" disk drive / Hard Drive?
