Dwight,
Well oddly all the "PC" variants so the XT/370, AT/370, P390 & P390/E meet
that definition, in that they are 370 or 390 class CPUs that use the host PC
to handle the IO...
So the host PC is in effect the IO processor...

Ali,
Its been a long time, but I think the answer is no. A tape is not a disk and
uses a different SCSI command set to a disk. For example you can't rewind a
disk.

This is just generic advice based on recent experience. I would replace all
electrolytic caps. I had some test pretty good, but PSU worked after I replaced
them. Also check all the rectifier diodes as well, and I have had an

One thing which complicates things is that we have (roughly) layered protocols
in place between the 3174 and the host.
So at the physical level we have channel attached, SDLC, Token Ring and bi-sync.
Above that we have the channel protocols, HDLC/SDLC and bi-sync polling.
Then we may have

Charles,
I believe that TTL chips suffer from failure or detachment of the bonding
wire that runs from the die to the interconnect pin, which would result in a
floating pin as described.]
Not sure if environmental storage affects this as chips should be sealed...

Pierre,
I would suggest that as you haven't seen one in ages, the price reflects the
rarity and the vendor is hoping for a rich collector to buy it.
I don't know off hand of anyone who uses one. I know that the 4341 at LCM uses
emulated DASD as does the ICL 2900 at TNMOC in the UK which I think

It might be worth trying to talk to the IBM Museum at Hursley.

Bill,
Ask Peter about emulators. Pretty sure some one at the museum did an 803
emulator, (not in SIMH) but its been a while since I saw the machine running.

As for expectations for Bill, my son made a similar journey , by bus, from
Oxford to Gatwick, so a bit of M40 then 75% of the M25 this morning. He allowed
2 hours extra and is cross because for once he arrived on schedule and had two
extra hours at Gatwick to kill.

Liam,
As one of the TNMOC Members (roughly equivalent to "friends" in other museums)
I don't think Bletchley Park would collapse without TNMOC. It has huge income
from renting out buildings other than those TNMOC use.
It has many visitors who are interesting in the place and the story and the

Note that Bletchley Park is now split into two. (don't ask) and Colossus
and the Bombe re-build are now at TNMOC not at Bletchley Park. Its on the
same site but two Museums.

You won't drive from Gatwick to Bletchley in an hour. It’s the wrong side of
London. Google is currently saying 1h 33Mins.
However, the route involves the M25 via Heathrow and that has frequent
blockages so IMHO it’s a ri
