Any fans of 90's-vintage IBM gear to save this machine from
the gold scrappers?

It looks like a scrapper has already bid on it too. :(
That looks about like the model I had, which I handed off to another
ccmper. It's missing the HMC, but I think I have a copy of the software
necessary for one.. though I'm not 100% sure where it is. I think that
a PC Server 300 is what the software expects to be installed on.
I'd go for it, but it's too far away, and I don't have the money to
spend on that after buying my z890. :(

Well, that was me, and I have a couple of these 9221s, and could use
that software.

Always interested, but as I said, I have 9221s already, and I glommed
onto about 2 tons of interesting computer stuff over that past week or
so.

Yeah, I know. Don't worry, I'll get you a copy once I find it, Will. :)
Fun. I'm trying to figure out how to arrange things in my house, so
that I can actually run the z890 with some peripherals on it.

I suppose there was a reason for someone bidding on it, but how much gold could be
recovered from such an item???

Damn! I could probably afford to buy it, but transporting it is a
different matter.
Someone really, really needs to grab these machines. They're very
thin on the ground, are really quite neat, and should be easily runnable
(relative to many other mainframes, that is) if one has some DASD.
