Yes, they were kludgy way back then and absurd now, but it seems he wants to get one or more working and attached to a mainframe for reason(s) he has not divulged. Even though their 635MB can be replaced by a more modern device that fits in your pocket, I don't think the pocket devices attach very well to a mainframe. Maybe his mainframe is just as obsolete as his 3350s. And he will also need a control unit (also obsolete?) to drive them. Good luck.
