The Rhode Island Computer Museum just received a donated IBM S/390 Multiprise 2000 Type 2003 system from the RI Department of Labor and Training.
We have not determined which or how many processors are in the system. Let us know if you know how to do this without powering up the system.
We didn't get the Hardware Management Console with the system, so we will need to assemble a PC with a Token Ring adapter running OS/2, and then load the special S/390 management software. Everything is controlled by the HMC, so we can't even power it on.
We didn't get the disk drives, but we should get the metal cassettes that hold the drives. The drives are 18GB SCSI, and it will hold 32 of them. We got one 9-track tape drive with the system and will get another. We will also get three juke-box tape drives and a communications controller.
