- Two weeks ago, our IBM 3083 mainframe system was shut down and powered off.
- Now the system is looking for a new place to live (except for our 7171, which
- has been spoken for).
-
- The system will be sold to the highest bidder(s) willing to de-install
- and transport it. We're even willing to break up the system and sell
- individual pieces of equipment! All serious offers will be considered.
-
- So, if you want an entire 3083 system or any part of one, say for spare parts
- (everyone needs extra TCMs, IBM memory, and a 400Hz motor-generator, right?),
- this is your chance to pick up "good stuff CHEAP".
-
- If you're interested in all or any part of this system, you should contact
- Kathi Mahoney here at Intermetrics ((617) 661-1840 x4515). Otherwise, you
- can call or write me with any technical questions ... (Email: bloom@inmet.com
- Phone: (617) 661-1840 x4096) ... please don't reply to the list.
-
- Here's the list of the available equipment:
-
- Note: Just about all the IBM brand equipment was under IBM maintenance until
- the shutdown ... the exceptions are most of the terminals, two of
- 3380-B04s, and, of course, the DACU (IBM didn't offer maintenance on DACUs).
- We are supposed to be receiving a maintenance qualification letter from IBM
- for the equipment that they maintained.
