Makes you think maybe the much beefier two full rack system I donated to MARCH now VCFed should be put on display someday, it IPLed when I donated it, should not be too hard to get running if someone knows how to boot a Series/1 (which is not easy) and has an IBM terminal...I followed the manuals to the best I could but I am no expert. I documented where I left off before I gave it up someone might want to take this on.

I own that system; I just haven't picked it up yet. We have a former Series/1 guy in our orbit here at LSSM; he has offered to assist when the time comes. Now that I've gotten some big things off of my to-do list this year, I'm hoping to plan a small truck trip out to VCFed before too long, to get that and some of my other stuff out of the way, and maybe bring a few more goodies to leave in their place. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
