I'm almost tempted to bid, but then what would I do with them? There are
actually 4 of them for sale. Three are at $80, and the fourth is at $220.
I didn't see any information on model numbers. The MP3000 had 3 models -
the H30, H50, & H70. I believe most of the H30s often came with built in
DASD. The H50 I worked with for 5 years had no built in DASD. It ran the
business very well.
But, what good are they? If you are a hobbiest, to legally run z/OS you
would have to pay several thousand dollars a month to IBM. It would be very
hard to even get IBM to lease the software, as the last release of z/OS that
will run on a MP3000 is z/OS V1.5. The MP3000 still had 31 bit addressing.
I can see if you had one or two MP3000s in your company,and were still using
them, they might be good to buy for parts if you could maintain them
yourself.
