I just picked up an M8044-CC (16kw) so that should hold me for a while. I need
to print the manual so I can set the switches right.
Thanks all!

Anyone know what this:

Hi all,
I was stopping by a local recycler to pick up a few Cisco switches I bought
to add to my lab, and while I was there, I happened to spot a complete IBM
System z9 machine out of the U-M Health System.

Now that's some serious hardware, thanks for posting. IBM folks, what would you
run on something like this if you had it "at home"? What OS and apps does it
run?

Nice unit! Drool. Looks like this is a NRZI triple density tape, so 7970A or
B. The later 7970E would have a 1600 PE density switch too. I have an E, but
not with the multiple density or 7 track options unfortunately. Thanks for the
link to the series overview manual Rich.

Jerome -- it's "new math" :-)
Seriously though, I guess I could have been a bit clearer in my description,
but think I had mentioned somewhere along the way that the unit already had 4kw
of memory, so I was trying to get to 28kw to leave IOPAGE open. I also just
realized that the boards have a

Preferably one of the deskside SMP models.
Proving a point about under what circumstances X86 machines can be
considered cool... :^)
