I also have a 90s air cooled mainframe. Sadly I have

no Bus and Tag cabling to go with it. I'd like to fire it up, but without
the ability to cable it that's a remote pipe dream. I warn anyone taking
one of these on to make sure they save the cabling from the copper
scrappers as well. ESCON is still easy enough to get. Bus and tag has so
far eluded me so I believe it must be getting thin on the ground. If
anyone does know of a UK/Western Europe source, please let me know about
it!
They're definitely not easy to find, but they do show up on eBay
every year or so. Terminators seem to be easier to find than cables.
Which model do you have? I have a 9375 (with a full set of cables
:)) that I hope to be able to power up in the coming months.
