Some years back one of our clients ordered some used cards for their z13
from Top Gun Technology.

Any pointers to companies that trade in used IBM parts. Ebay seems like too

I would imagine that the FICON and OSA cards might have value to someone.
These cards can still be used in other z14's, z15's and z16's. With the
hardware WKFM date for z15's having passed, the only way to add an adapter
to a z15 is to acquire it from the secondary market (aka used). You could
try posting them on eBay or contact some of the companies that trade in
used IBM parts.
Good luck!

I need to decommission and remove for potential destruction z16 zr1.
It only has one active engine so it's capped at 88 mips which isn't
very useful. But for a number of reasons it has a ton of 16G fibre
channel cards (6 or 8 I think). They might have some value so I was
thinking I would remove them before having the host removed. There
are
also
4 OSA Express cards (10G). Our IBM SE said IBM do not support used
cards
in
CEC's but that does not mean they won't work?
Another thought was it could be used as a sysprog play pen, carving
up
some
storage of the DS8K we have and creating a small z/OS image. But how
much play can you do in 88 MIPS?
