If this thing is ready for prime time and going to get more widespread

Something does not quite add up. A 3480 is a tape subsystem, not a CPU

My Chicago buddy has an entire IBM 3480 system, server and storage. The
storage rack has 64 hard drives. He has the tapes that go with it.

ship or you can pick up. No, it is not a freebie J

recently. Carl and I fantasized to pick them up. When we looked at the weight,
clearer mind prevailed and we gave up. Not sure what happened to them.

I used John's routine to write and Chuck's to read an HP 1000 SIMH tape image,
and the file diff came out identical, give or take a few end characters that I
don't believe are part of the data. So you guys are essentially compatible as
expected (16 bit machine it sure is).

I did ask, and he said there is nothing labeled 360 or 390 or any
server-looking cabinet, nor anything waist tall except the line printers,
and nothing that looks like a computational device except the 3174-11R, of
which there are 3. If there is something else to ask, please let me know.

Today they start getting cut up if no one responds.
