Wow, for the first time that I've ever seen, actual IBM 3390s...
Items #5189150755, and 5189150713
Of course $5000 seems to me to be a bit of a high starting price...
probably off the mark by about 2 orders of magnitude.

I had two of these that I could have taken with me when I moved out of my
old warehouse but I decided to leave them behind as I felt six 24'
truckloads was quite enough by then.
Also, they're just storage...kinda boring :)

Patrick,
you could use these if they were what was shown in the photos.
he has photos of escon and 3390 cabinets in a 3380 auction. I doubt
he knows what he has.
Also probably does not know the difference between storage directors
and the actual dasd cabinets. One would not only have to educate
him on the fact his value was silly but that he has to actually show one
what piece one is buying so one could get both the controller and
the drives in these auctions.
anyway EMC cabinets would be better anyway. more storage in a
single cabinet.
