[etc., etc.]

[I know this list isn't the usual place for selling equipment, but it's
one of the few where the majority of readers are IBM (or PCM) equipment
users, and I'd like to see this equipment go a good home.]

Well, the 3083 system has been shut down and powered off.  The 7171 has been
spoken for.  However, the rest of the system IS STILL AVAILABLE!!

The system will be sold to the highest bidder(s) willing to de-install
and transport it.  We're even willng to break up the system and sell
individual pieces of equipment!

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)

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 the
DACU).  We are supposed to be receiving a maintenance qualification letter
for the equipment.
